That knowing about Dream CV makes you extremely excited because you finally have an effective tool to realize your dream, but you are confused about how to use it effectively. Don't worry, Living Dream will help you to write a convincing and impressive Dream CV.

+ About my dream: The dream is anything you want, anything you desire, it can be a career dream or a learning dream, etc. Let’s write your dream proudly and don’t forget to keep it short and clear.

+ Reasons and motivation:  A very important question that you should always ask yourself is "Why?". The answer to that question is the reason, the motivation which pushes yourself to try to reach the dream. With that motivation, whenever you feel tired and want to give up, you will look back at the reason you started and keep trying. A strong enough motivation not only energises you, but it can also inspire and increase confidence in employers with the level of commitment, pursue to the end of you!

+ I am a special one:  What personality, passion, or special interests make you feel most confident and excited when sharing about yourself? Is there differences between your background and other people backgrounds? Focus on the special points that match your dreams, help you get more "points", but don't forget that the most important thing: be yourself!

+ Challenges and lessons: Sit back a little bit and remember how you face and overcome challenges? Whether you overcome it or not, think about the lessons you’ve learned, because those are the value. Don't be afraid to talk about failures, but talk more about experiences, and let's write them down in a concise way.

+ Learning and self-study path: Autonomous learning is always highly appreciated, especially when you choose an unsuitable major, or want to change career, etc. You may have already had or will have your own routines. From the past to the future, what have you learned and want to learn? How? What do these things help your dream?

+ Potentials, skills, and achievements: For this section, you should make a headline to make it easier for employers to follow. What are the awards, certifications or qualifications you have achieved? What hard skills and soft skills do you have? If you have an internship project, or a sample product such as designing banners, clips, articles, etc., don't be afraid to give them as proof. If you have good results, don't forget to present it to make an impression!

+ Past experiences: Tell your journey. Which activity did you participate in? What are your unforgettable memories? Those can be an experience related to your dream or can be any interesting experiences in life you want to share. How does that experience affect you today? Let’s help employers understand your story.

+Future plans: If you're lucky enough to receive the opportunity to fulfill your dream, how will you take advantage of that opportunity? Imagine how you will be in the next six months, one year or even five years, have touched the dream or are still on the way to make it come true? What will you do, what resources will you need to help you implement the plan? Be open and honest about your plan like joining a project or taking a certificate. Employers will know more about your orientation and can support you better.

Some important notes for a career/ learning Dream CV:

- Finding out about the job or scholarship you apply for, then write a focused CV, every detail should focus on the thesis that you are the best candidate for the position.

-Using specific, concise words when evaluating your achievements or skills, reflected in the process of striving. Quantification can be used. For example, when you mention a crowded event, give them the exact number. How many people are there in the event? A specific number is always more convincing.

- Dream CV should not be too long. Most employers just skim the CV, so be careful to choose the background, font size, and alignment. Also, remember to use the line and the bullet to make it clear.

- Do not make grammatical and spelling mistakes.

These are just the general guidelines, the quality of a Dream CV will depend entirely on your enthusiasm! The CV is your first communication to the employer, let Dream CV show the best and most vividly you. Living Dream wishes your dreams to come true soon.
