Hace poco más de un año escribí una historia sobre cómo redactar un currículum para enviarlo a una empresa de EEUU, Reino Unido o Irlanda (aprovechando que los formatos para los tres países eran casi iguales). Lo que ese artículo no incluía eran ejemplos, y alguien me los ha pedido, así que voy a poner aquí un ejemplo recién inventado de résumé para el Reino Unido. Como comenté en el artículo anterior, el résumé americano sería prácticamente igual, salvo que en lugar de un “Profile” tendría unos “Objectives”.
Espero que os sirva para redactar vuestro propio currículum. Recordad que, cuando lo enviéis, deberíais acompañarlo de una carta de presentación, de la que os daré un ejemplo otro día.
