Go ahead of the job hunting game by writing your CV and application letters with more emphasis on business and formality. Get rid of the typical student writing styles that includes much highlight on hobbies, references, course details and grades of every examination that was taken. Instead, focus on your language, tone and word usage. Write it like you really mean business, be direct to the point yet polite. That way, you will sound smarter and surer of yourself. Try including positive words such as performed, redirected, implemented, developed, solved and supervise. They sound more mature and confident than the words assisted, involved, ambitious and hardworking.
