Simple Steps For Preparing Your CV / Resume

To make it easier for us to determine where you might best fit within our organization, you can take a few steps to help us understand your qualifications.  Here are a few simple steps to help guide you in preparing your CV / resume.

Document Format

By using the proper format, you can be certain that we can open and read your resume.

• PDF, HTML, or Microsoft Word documents or text formats are preferred or you can submit using plain text format.
• All resumes and related materials (transcripts, etc.) should be submitted in English. You may also submit a copy in Chinese if you wish but be sure to submit an English version as well.
• Only send essential personal information and be sure to include your name and how we may contact you in the resume, not just your cover letter. Include your email address, phone number, and residence address.

Educational Background

Your CV/resume should accurately reflect your academic history, achievements and special accomplishments.

• Your resume should show all post-secondary institutions attended, degrees conferred, and a cumulative grade point average (if available) for each degree received.
• Only report your educational history dating back to the university level; do NOT include elementary or secondary schooling. However, if you completed a "year abroad" program as part of your pre-university education, feel free to include this in your resume.
• Provide a brief description of any important projects you completed as part of your coursework.

Work Experience

You may be fresh out of a university, or have substantial work experience and a history of accomplishments. Either way, we want to know what skills you've acquired along the way. We'll look closely at the work experience section of your resume, so the information you provide here is very important.

• List your experience and projects completed, accomplishments, etc. by your position with each employer.
• We also want to see concise, important details on your specific accomplishments and the impact your efforts had on your company.
• If you worked while attending a university, either during the summer or concurrent with your course work, be sure to mention this even if it isn't specifically related to a potential job at Navista.

Additional Information

Here at Navista, we value talent and intelligence, group spirit and diversity, creativity and idealism. Please tell us what makes you unique!

• Include the names and contact information of two or three references. These can include faculty advisors, co-workers, managers, or others who can talk knowledgeably about your skills and abilities.
• Be sure to include any awards you've received.
