Titolo: Curriculum in inglese

  Devo scrivere il mio curriculum in inglese, ma non so da che parte
cominciare. Ci sono degli esempi da qualche parte? Il problema
principale \`e che non vorrei scrivere un curriculum che mi faccia
apparire un deficente, sul tipo "My name is Massimo, I'm twenty-five"
ecc.
  Grazie per qualsiasi informazione.

Name:
Address:
Telephone:
Date of birth:
Education:
Work Experience:
Interests:
References:
Questo in generale, forse dovresti specificare meglio a chi dovresti inviare
il curriculum.
Ciao,

  Vi ringrazio. Pur avendovi fornito poche informazioni, avete
centrato l'obiettivo. Mi occorreva proprio uno schema "standard" da
cui partire. Il curriculum andra' inserito in una pagina web,
leggibile quindi da tutti, specialmente da chi finanzia il progetto...
=:-|
  Alla prossima.


I am not familiar with resumes in the UK, but in the US I have never seen one
with marital status and I have not seen one with the date of birth in years. 
In fact, it is illegal to ask for DOB here.

cominciare. Ci sono degli esempi da qualche parte? 
Si' ci sono migliaia di cv di gente che sta cercando lavoro.  Basta saperli
cercare in rete (cosa che io non so fare).

And here it seems to me political correctness went overboard-- I mean
I can see the point about "ageism" but gawrsh, to make it *illegal*?

Thanks Ari.
Ahem, (clears her throat), Bambi darling, how about putting these in
the FAQ's? Just a thought.

Dear Arianna,
Having, in a former life, been in a position to have had to view many
resumes, I have to say that it is 'the norm' to include marital status
(referring to countries which follow the British system) though  I can't
remember ever having seen one with date of birth in years.
I also remember from the time I was living in New York,  that asking for
ones date of birth was illegal and I thought it good thing, I must say.

Dear Isabella,
I trust the tickle in your throat has gone ( a glass of bolly with a slice
of pavvie works wonders and it so happens a fresh Pavlova has just come out
of the oven).
Your suggestion is noted and I think it would be worth including it as well.
An updated version of the FAQ is in the workings, but one is
awaiting...well, you know what.
Thank you Arianna for the links.

 I can see the point about "ageism" but gawrsh, to make it *illegal*?
Per piacere, non prendere la diatriba che segue come un'aggressione
personale.
It's unfortunate that this term "political correctness" (which aptly
describes the social pressure to conform to particular modes of behavior and
speech) has been generalized by many, especially those outside of the
States, to refer to many things, including attempts to prevent the abuse of
positions of power in society. The mainstream culture of the United States,
despite its numerable faults, has a strong value for egalitarianism. Perhaps
because of the history of ignoring this value for portions of the
population, proponents have recognized the need for legal enforcement as a
(perhaps temporary) antidote for prejudice and discrimination.
For example, asking for marital status is illegal because some employers
would be prejudicial in hiring based on the personal lifestyle of the
individual instead of his or her ability to do the job. Specifically, some
employers would not hire married women. They tend to suppose that, after
training the person for a job, she might get pregnant and then they would
have to pay her salary and not fill her position for some time. Also, the
person may not return to work and the employer would lose the investment in
training that person for the job. Proponents of egalitarianism see this as a
loss of opportunity for women.
Behavior, even when it's considered for the greater good of the population,
doesn't change without some "pressure." To not legally prohibit such
requests for information and enforce the law in order to change the culture
would be as foolish as passing a law in Rome prohibiting smoking in public
places and then completely ignore its existence.

employers would not hire married women.
[...]
Which was my point exactly, as far as the marital status bit of
information was concerned; I would be the first to support an act of
legislation that would make it illegal here too to ask a perspective
employee, regardless of gender, about that. 
But marital status has to do with *personal choices* which I may or
may not want to share with a stranger, especially one in a position of
power; not so *age*, which is an accidental fact-- I don't think
anybody has a choice there? Therefore I do not see the point about
asking/telling one's date of birth and, whilst many seem to agree it
is a good thing not to be obliged or pressured into saying, nobody
will enlighten me as to *why* it is so. (I'll admit at once that *I*
am very probably missing some vital point here.)
Thanks,

It is not your personal choice, in most cases, to be a woman. That doesn't
preclude you from wanting to compete on an equal level with men in search of
work without encountering discrimination based on your gender. The same
holds true for those "on in years." They would like to be evaluated on their
ability, not on some other criteria such as concern that their upcoming
retirement will burden the company's retirement plan, or the common
misconception at many dot-com companies run by inexperienced, gullible
twenty-somethings that anyone over thirty isn't as creative or visionary as
someone who grew up watching MTV. The point is not to deny reality but
rather to eliminate inappropriate barriers to employment.
Ciao,
Ron

Indeed. And consider the 25 year old who would prefer to be judged on their
ability than on some perception that they inexperienced, gullible and in some
way unsuitable for employment for having grown up watching MTV!

OK, Ron. As you like it. Women or mature citizens or members of
minorities "would like" many things, but the sheer facts are that age,
gender, or skin colour - the "accidents" - *show*. However many laws
one country will implement. I am not meaning to say it is just that
people be judged because of these factors instead of their intrinsic
abilities; just that as long as people look their ages nothing will
prevent anybody from thinking "Jeez, he/she's way too old for this
post", even if they are prohibited by law to ask for DOB. Some norms
are simply useless. 
Ciao,

 DOB. Some norms are simply useless. 
It's the same down here. Statistically it is obvious that people over 40
are disadvantaged when it comes to getting work. And for those
unemployed over 50 or 55 (can't remember) they don't even have to try
and get work since the government recognises that difficulty. There is
no law to prevent one using date of birth but it was suggested by CV
advisers that it not be put in.
We have all the laws about no discrimination on grounds of age gender
religion or sexual orientation. But individuals will think what they do
and landlords will choose the tennants they like. But better to have the
law than not, I suspect.

 gender religion or sexual orientation. 
Left out race.

, lo...@asgard.invalid says...

Yeah, we have laws like that too. They were enacted by the same government that
administers the Department of Aboriginal Affairs, which is a government department
dedicated solely to distributing benefits on the basis of race.
It's a funny world.

 benefits on the basis of race. It's a funny world.
IMHO Identifying needs is not the same as discrimination. (But that's a
PhD topic and I hate writing essays...) 
In the funny way that these things happen I heard on the radio this
morning a discussion on age discrimination. It seems NZ Human Rights Act
doesn't allow for discrimination on age but not if under the age under
16. Something to do with being able to say "You're too young for a
driver's licence." 
Cheers,
Loki

Where do they get off?! - discriminating against someone for choosing not 
to hold a licence! Maybe the person is an alcoholic and considers it wiser
not to drive. And don't tell me that employers are able to discriminate 
against alcoholics in NZ.
Raymot
[[[[[[[[[[[

 employers are able to discriminate  against alcoholics in NZ.
You misunderstand,  - too much xxxx maybe ;-), One can discriminate by
age by saying under 16's can't have a licence, or get served alcohol. 
Cheers,
Loki
