Eye-catching cosmetologist CV examples

The CV format is an important aspect that many overlook. Outside of the design, many job seekers might not know how to order the specific experience and skills into the appropriate sections. Here is the basic format your CV should have:

• Header
• Professional summary or objective statement
• Skills section, including certifications or licenses
• Work experience section
• Education section

Header

 

Once you pick out a CV template to use, fill out the header with the following contact information:

• Your full name
• Your address
• Your phone number
• Your email address
• Previous portfolio of work or LinkedIn profile link, if applicable

CV summary or objective

 

The CV summary or objective gives recruiters a glimpse into your specific skills and work history. You should list your top work achievements and relevant skills here.

 

 

Listing your skill set in short bullet points is essential, so iring managers will be able to take a quick glance and know immediately what your best abilities are. For instance, hair stylists can write:

• Hair care
• Haircutting
• Hairstyling
• Hair colouring
• Shampooing and conditioning
• Scheduling consultations for clients’ hair
• Communication skills

 

List your previous jobs with your most recent or current job first, including details for each job on your primary responsibilities and accomplishments. If you lack professional experience, you can mention internships, volunteer work, or experiences from within a cosmetology course, as long as they contain skills that relate to cosmetology work.

 

 

List your top academic credentials here, as well as any licenses you’ve earned. Many cosmetology licenses will require you to have a minimum number of hours before you can obtain one. Typically, you can gain this experience within a cosmetology course.

Not having a licence won’t forbid you from practiscing but you might find it much harder to find a position within the beauty field without one. Many salons will also be more comfortable hiring a licencsed cosmetologist who has received the right training.
