There are many reasons to have more than one version of your CV. Maybe you have varied
skills that apply to different kinds of jobs. Or perhaps you’d like one CV for school-related
activities and one for paid work. Either way, your CV will be a more valuable
tool for you if it highlights the experiences that most closely match the opportunity you
are applying for. The first step in creating more than one version
of your CV is making a copy of the original CV file. To do this, open a new tab or window.
If you have not used the computer you are working on before, go to Google.com and
sign in to your Google account.
Then, open Google Drive.
Find your CV draft, and open it.
Now, using the File menu, make a copy of your
CV.
When you save the copy, it will also automatically
be saved in Google Drive.
To make each version of your CV easy to find
in your Drive, give the new version a name that matches its purpose.
Good job! Continue making copies and updating your CV to reflect whatever type of position
you are applying for. A CV that matches each job, school, volunteer role, or other opportunity
is more likely to get you noticed! Now, it’s your turn:
Make a copy of your CV, And change the name so your Drive stays organised
and you can easily find each version of your CV.
