Hi, I need help with my CV and Resume. I have an interview this week, and I’am English Second Language, and I want to know if I have errors on my CV. Please help! I have a several problem with present verbs, and past verbs.

This is my Cover Letter:

Right off the bat, the language is way too formal in my opinion. See the parts in quotes:

“With wait of a response….”

“suitable aspirant for works with us…” <<< grammar miscue by the way

“I would be glad to provide more information about myself, my education, experience, goals and personality. For this reason, I wish that I may be considered for a personal interview with your company; In order that you know my interest of working for PWC”. <<<<<< not really necessary. Your cover letter should hit the high points of why you want to work there and why you're a good fit. Your resume should have all the info they need.

“This is my experience:…..”

That whole section needs to be redone in my opinion. Overall, I think you might want to do some research and look at example cover letters. Half of yours sounds like a resume, and the other half could use some work.

First thing I also thought was way too formal. You also should indicate why you're interested in PwC.

Also, if you have an interview already, do you need to take a cover letter? I've always submitted a cover letter with my online applications, but I've never taken one to an interview…just a resume.

Resume and CV (curriculum vitae) are synonyms.

“With wait of a response, I send my cordial regards to the whole company, and grateful for your time.” – this part actually sounds informal…and just odd. Normally you'd just say “Sincerely,” and sign with your first & last name.

Dude, send me your email. I will forward you my resume excluding my name, and just follow the same format. I always get calls from recruiters and public companies,so I guess my resume has what it takes to get an interview.

Best job-seeking website ever!

I can tell that English is not your first language just by the way you write. Your cover letter sounds like it was copied out of an old resume book. But you've got the interview, so I'd worry less about your CV/resume and more on prepping for the interview. Google interview questions and write down your answers. Have a friend who's native language is English go over the answers with you. You sound very well educated but very stiff and formal. You can get over that with practice.

Oh and good luck on your interview!
