Examples of CV's per Sector
Every job sector is unique and has its own requirements, so it would be a mistake to not customize your CV when applying to different sectors. In this article we will look at the most numerous vacancies at Europe Language Jobs and what you should add to your CV to successfully pass the first stage of screening.
1. Customer Service.
Customer Service Manager is a person who spends a lot of time each day communicating with a lot of people trying to resolve their problems and questions. Very often these people are stressed or confused, so working in Customer Service requires a lot of patience and calmness.

Do not forget to add your personal skills. Customer Service managers are always working in the team, so it is important to be an easy going and a team player.
2. Marketing/Sales Manager.

It is important to distinguish though, many companies try to put the two together but they are very different, we’re only putting them together here because a similar CV can be used for both industries.
Include a short intro about yourself and your career – this will represent you as a professional with interpersonal skills which is essential for most Marketing/Sales Manager positions. Also include your achievements: your achievements and skills are what will get you the job, so be sure to include them!

Mentioning your soft skills can be important if you are going to work in startup or in the team, in this case it would be important to show that you know how to work with other people and can handle the arguments which can pop up during the work on the project but this is often less important in IT and importance is much more heavily weighted towards your skills rather than if you can hold a good conversation.
