How to write a Government CV

The conventions below are the ones this field actually uses. They are what the builder applies when you pick Government / PSU (India), and what the rating checks a finished CV against.

What it must contain

Leave any of these out and the CV reads as incomplete to someone who hires in this field:

Education — Board or university, year, percentage and division for every qualification.
Work experience

The order to put them in

Order is not cosmetic. What sits at the top is what gets read before someone decides whether to keep reading.

Bio-data Summary
Education
Work experience
Licences & registrations
Certifications
Skills
Achievements
Languages
Projects

Section by section

Bio-data Summary — Government applications are checked against the advertisement clause by clause. Mirror the wording of the notification where it applies to you.

What to put numbers on

The single most common reason a CV in this field reads as weak is that nothing in it is measured. These are the figures that mean something here:

scheme size · beneficiaries · budget · districts covered · staff supervised

Verbs that carry weight

Openers like “responsible for” and “worked on” describe a job description rather than a person. In this field these do the work instead:

Administered · Implemented · Supervised · Coordinated · Verified

Length

2 to 4 pages is normal for this field.
