disclaimer: while i might be not a professional/educational counsellor that specializes in making cvs/resumes, i have my trials and errors in creating cv and resumes, and most of the time, the rules i applied for making them selalu tepat sasaran. jd semoga bermanfaat!
pertama: tau dulu sbnrnya bedanya bikin cv sm resume. sbnrnya cv sm resume nyaris sama. bedanya: cv tuh lbh nunjukkin kemampuan secara komprehensif & detil, jd bnr2 lengkap dr prnh sklh dmn, prestasinya apa, prnh organisasi apa dll. meanwhile resume nunjukkin kemampuan secara-
spesifik, biasanya lbh banyak dipake buat ngelamar pekerjaan yg kita udh tau skillset dan kebutuhan yg diperluin apa. either way, both styles are interchangeably used here, dan kyknya di indo lbh pakem pake model cv style dan resume style. jd yg bkl lbh banyak dibahas cv aja ya.
bagian 1: general layout and how to put your personal information
.
sbnrnya ga ada pakem khusus buat bikin cv, tp yg jelas bikin cv itu ga usah di desain warna warni dgn mata mencolok dgn desain sophisticated bulet2 ala canva. no. simplicity is the key here. bknnya melarang-

untuk pakai canva. i too, used canva to design my cvs back then. tp trust me, sbnrnya user lbh tertarik sm /isi/nya drpd designnya. jd justru lbh bagus pake font yg simpel (calibri, times new roman, & arial works well), dan cukup pakai maksimal 3 warna aja di cv.
ada debat soal "cv bagusnya brp halaman sih?" while sbnrnya ga ada batasan bikin cv brp halaman, my rule of thumb is always to make max 2 pages of cv. no less. that way isinya lbh padet dan aku ga ngalor ngidul pas nulis cvnya, lbh mempermudah user jg buat baca cv kita.
ada jg debat soal "perlu ga sih masang foto di cv kita?" jujur ya, aku ga prnh masang fotoku di cv. unless emg dicantumin hrs pasang pasfoto, aku ga prnh taro pasfoto di cv. alasannya simpel, i want the employer to look at what I OFFER, not by my looks. also, privacy issues.
msk ke ranah personal information, yg jelas adalah sbnrnya yg penting tulis nama lengkap, nomor kontak yg aktif dan bs dihubungi (include hp dan email), sm lbh bagus lg kl pny linkedin. i made my linkedin acc exactly after i secured my undergrad thesis. i can't stress enough-
betapa pentingnya pny linkedin acc terutama kl br mulai kerja. like it or not, most of job vacancies jg skrg byk di linkedin. so getting an early start is definitely good, especially buat college students yg emg udh thn2 terakhir dan siap cari kerja. jd kl udh pny linkedin acc-
dicantumin aja urlnya di cv. oh, ya, perlukah pasang alamat rmh? iya dan nggak. selama ini, aku cm cantumin kota aku tgl dmn dan kode pos sih(c/o: jakarta selatan, 12210). iya kl memang hrs dicantumkan, nggak kl emg nggak ada statement hrs mencantumkan alamat. again, for privacy-
issues dan hemat space jg di cv. alamat indo tuh panjang bgt kdg bs 2 baris sendiri, jd kl emg ga perlu, ga usah pasang alamat panjang2. intinya, dr awal buat cv pls make it as simple as possible dan bs terbaca dgn baik. ga sedikit aku liat cv yg maaf bgt, warnanya tabrak lari-
trs fontnya susah kebaca, blm lg personal informationnya ditulis gede2 pasfotonya makan space banyak pula. at the end of the day, the users want to see things that you can offer to them and to the company, instead of mengagumi desain cvnya. there's nothing wrong with using-
classic old word and ppt, asal semua poin yg km mau sampaikan di cv jelas dan tepat sasaran. so yes, keep it simple & sleek. percaya deh, udh ngeliat sendiri tmn2 spv dan user yg lsg put a lot of cvs to their rubbish bin krn mrk udh sakit mata duluan liat desain cvnya hahaha.
ah one more thing sblm kelupaan: make sure to make a pdf version of your resume! biasanya aku selalu kirim cv dlm bentuk pdf instead of word, krn kl formatnya pdf, struktur cvnya ga akan berubah2. ga ada yg tau pas hr/user buka cv kita, word/pptnya pake versi apa. jd drpd-
rungsing mikirinnya, always have both versions of your cv: in .doc/.docx and .pdf. kl gatau gmn cara convertnya pls google... internet is there for you. don't be lazy
