Is it wrong to show in your CV that you are multi-disciplined in variuos fields- i.e. have like four to five specialties?

If someone shows in his CV that he is specialized and experienced in various fields such as accounting, finance, auditing, administration, general mangement, and translation, will this attract or deter potential employers? What is your opinion?

ofcourse a person can not have a speiciality in4 to five subjects because every subject is a single field which different from one an other but attach with each other having four to five specilities is wrong

 

I donmt see anything wrong with it. In fact, multi talented are MORE of a successs of the organization because you can have them do multiple tasks and being good at different specialities/experiences they are better for the company's success.

You should have a separate CV for each specialty instead of having one generic CV. Make it easier for the employer / recruiter to know how your experience and skills are a match for those required for the job. The employer should be able to know this quickly instead of having to wade through irrelevant information. For example, if you are applying for a finance job, don't include information about your translation work and skills unless this skill is required for the job.

 

Even more important is your cover letter. It should show your skills, education and experience relevant to the job and should be professionally written. If you need help with your CV or cover letter, send me a private message.
