Abstract

English language has transcended the legacy of the British Empire and, with the advent of political expediency, consumerism, the infinite reservoir of cyberspace and international soccer, it has won the status of Globish. With the establishment of the National Skill Development Council by the Government of India in the recent past, the focus in recruitment for jobs is on the exhibition of relevant skills by job seekers. Naturally, in one’s CV/Resume, the inclusion of the element ‘skills’ gains a prime place. This article, while throwing light on the emergence of Globish, illustrates the technique of writing a model CV/Resume, which would play a vital role in winning a job in the competitive world. Most of the job seekers do not choose to provide the right resume for the right job.
