A CV is a key document that highlights your qualifications, experience and skills to potential employers, serving as your first impression. It's crucial for standing out in a competitive job market.
Here are some essential tips to keep in mind when writing your CV
Customise your CV for each job role by highlighting the skills and experiences most relevant to the role. Use keywords from the job description to demonstrate that you're a good match for the position.
Maintain a clean format, use bullet points and ensure your CV is easily readable. Limit your CV to 2 pages – unless you have extensive relevant experience.
Start your CV with a compelling and short personal statement, highlighting your skills, years of experience and what you bring to the role.
Showcase your key accomplishments and quantify with facts and figures where possible. List any certifications and technical skills.
Address any breaks in your employment history with clear and honest explanations. Transparency is key and helps build trust.
Ensure your CV has no errors or typos. Maintain consistent formatting and simple, easy to read fonts. Review your CV multiple times and have someone else review, it's easy to miss your own mistakes!
Your CV will evolve as you gain more experience and skills. Regularly update and tailor it to suit your career progression.
