Thank you for inviting me to answer this question, 

 

If you dont have experience and you want to create an attractive CV, you can support it with the following :- 

1- use a professional CV template 

2 show a high English language in your CV writing 

3- start with attractive summery about your self and objectives, and how you can contribute in your field

4- after writing your qualification, support your CV by writing several related skills & competencies needed by all companies. 

5- finally, you can attach a professional and attractive cover letter with your CV in which you can tell about  your efficiency, and dont forget t tell them that you are an easy learner.

Keep it as simple as you can. Try to make your cv/resume according to Applicant Tracking System ATS. Never use a template, always design your cv as per job description. Try to use all those keywords in your cv that are mentioned in the job description. Never use Header and Footer ATS is not designed to pick information from Header and footers, never use a small font (less than 10) some ATs are not compatible. Always try to send cv/resumes in document doc. Docx format not in pdf. Mostly ATS are not compatible with pdf file format.
