Are you done with your graduation? Now the next thing is to move into a professional field. In a practical world, your entry ticket is your professional CV. I know it might sound different but it's true. Your CV is the first thing that an employer will look into, so it should be well-crafted. If you don't have a good CV, your chances of landing on a job will drop down. Today, I will tell you how to craft the best CV and what points to keep in mind while creating a CV for a Bahrain job. Let's get started.

Structure

The very first thing you need to focus on is the structure of your CV. Proper formatting and headings are required. There are some elements that will proceed to other sections. For example, reference will be followed by achievements, which comes next to your skills and education. Experience is going to be the main focus of your employer who will look into your past work. 

Question is how to structure a Resume for Bahrain. The simple answer is to stick with templates. Instead of writing it all down, you can opt to Google Docs and get a template. It contains image and profile details on one side while you can see the other section on the other side.

The best thing about structure is that you won't have to put much effort. Everything will be in the right order. You will do a bit of editing. 

I prefer using templates, because it offers you flexibility. If you plan to custom design a CV, template will work for you. 

Basic Personal Details

The first thing to add in your Bahrain Resume is your personal details such as name, address, email ID, CPR details, and phone number. I advise you not to add home address because you don't know who will check your CV. Skip very personal details and only add those details which don't cause some issues. 

Photograph

Some people remain confused whether to add a picture in their resume or not, if you are wondering the same, go for a picture. You don't need to put a selfie in your resume, it won't look great. The professional touch won't be there at all. A professional headshot or passport picture is good enough to add in your CV. 

Summary

Your professional summary is your introduction, which you need to do perfectly. Try to create the best summary. Please craft a three line summary to catch the attention of your employer. Whether it is a personal statement or summary, the main purpose of this part of the resume is to tell the employer why he should hire you. You need to sell your skills and talent in three lines. 

What skills to put on resume?

Experience

Freshers don't have experience needed to do a job, and they wonder what to add in the experience section. If you want to compete well in the professional market, you must have some experience. Getting experience isn't good. You can do it part time or try volunteering. Start your career as an intern.

 A few months experience will improve your Bahrain resume.  So, when you don't have experience, you can mention some things you did in your university. For example,a project where you work better than other people. When you have some experience, you can talk about the latest experience first and then move to the old one.

When writing details of your experience, try to add action verbs such as "Achieved, Distributed, attained, etc". These verbs explain to employers what you have done for past employers and firms. It becomes easy for him to identify your value.

Education 

Your education and degree matters but not as much as your life achievement. Comprehend this section and give space to other things like experience and skills.

Skills

You need to mention both hard and soft skills. Don't talk about your personal life in your CV. However if personal life aspects showcase some good skills like teamwork and leadership, you can mention it in the skill section. A few but impressive skills help your employer understand your worth.

Achievements

Your professional achievement matters. If you are an author of a best selling book, mention it. When you win some awards in an academic area, adding it in your resume may make your employer think that you prefer you over others. 

Reference 

Another thing to add in your Bahrain CV is reference. Personal reference from your teacher and professor will work. You can mention the reference name or add a recommendation letter from your Dean and College office.
