There are only quite a small number of automobile companies and manufacturers that has been able to overcome the challenges – different lifestyles and bigger plus better competition – that the changing world offered. And among these counted few, the Ford Motor Company is one of those.

Starting its humble beginnings back to the year 1903, the Ford Motor Company still has been able to continue in the automotive world as one of its major players and manufacturers. Founded by Henry Ford that year during the first coupe of years of that millennium, the company has been able to manufacture and create the classic Ford Model T. Although the coming of the Second World War proved to be a hindrance for the continued manufacturing of vehicles from this company, the end of the said event was considered to be a fresh beginning for Ford. At present, the company has crafted vehicles and has also the hold over other vehicle brands like the Ford, the Lincoln, the Mercury, the Aston Martin, the Jaguar, the Volvo, and the Land Rover.

Also, the Ford Motor Company has been successfully tagged and named as the largest automobile manufacturer the world over. It has continued on delivering dependable and classy automobiles to the different markets in the automobile industry. Their vehicles have become classics due to the fact that the vehicles hold a great appeal to the masses and are generally high quality. Even the name, Ford, exceeds a reputation of performance and power.

One of the vehicles that comprise the Ford vehicle line up is the Ford Exp. Most people presume that the Ford Exp is just another name for the Ford Explorer. However, the fact is that it is not and this vehicle is an entirely different one altogether. It certainly also does not look as if it is a Ford Explorer.

This Ford Exp model has been has been crafted and manufactured by the company during the roaring ’80s, specifically from the year 1981. This line has lived for seven whole years up until 1988. It is a subcompact car and has succeeded the Ford Thunderbird upon its end of production. It sports two doors and has a two passenger capacity. It is also considered to be the first car of the modern generation that has used and sported the oval symbol of the Ford brand. It shares most of its parts with the Ford Escort. It came equipped with an 80 horsepower engine that was later on upgraded to have a greater capacity of ten horsepower more. Later on, the Ford Exp line has been cut so as to give way to another Ford vehicle, which later came on to be known as the Ford Probe.

A CV (from the Latin Curriculum Vitae) – ‘Resume’ for our American friends has only ONE purpose. It aims to win you an interview. Once you’re at the interview, the interviewer may use the CV as a basis for discussion, but it won’t determine whether or not you’ll get the job. With this in mind, what are the most important aspects of a CV?

1) Don’t make your CV too long

Two pages length is perfect. There are some exceptions – some employers from countries such as South Africa prefer as much information as possible, but on the whole, anything more than three pages may have a negative impact on your interview chances.

Think of yourself as being the one having to discriminate between over 100 different CV’s for the one job role. Would you really be interested to read everything about somebody’s previous employment or simply have them summarise 5 bullet points of the job that indicate the experience most pertinent to the applied position?

Often, someone will make a decision on whether or not to see someone for interview after viewing a CV for less than thirty seconds. If your most relevant industry experience is hidden away on the 4th page of your CV, you’re hampering your chances of getting invited to that all-important interview.

2) Make sure your CV is in the right order

On most occasions your employment history is more important than your educational qualifications. This means that on most occasions your employment history should be before your educational qualifications on your CV.

Often people make the mistake of emphasising what they’re proud of rather than emphasising what’s more likely to be the most important thing to your prospective employer. Try your best to view things from a neutral perspective and highlight your skill set that relates to the job description of the position you’re applying for.

3) Personalise your CV for every job application

If you have your CV saved on you computer, it doesn’t take too long to optimise its relevancy for your potential future employer. Once you’ve viewed the company’s website and read the job advert you’ll be able to determine whether or not there are aspects of your previous experience that don’t presently feature on your CV.

Simply delete the bullet points in your previous work experience that are less pertinent to this job application and replace them with bullet points that are more pertinent. Remember to use similar phraseology and wording that appear in the company’s literature in order to highlight your specific relevance to the position.

The second part of this article will focus on the content for your CV including Personal Details, Personal Profile, Employment Experience, Educational Qualifications, Additional Training and Personal Interests.
