Here are the 10 tips can help:
- Keep it relatively short and simple, a standard CV should be no more than 2 pages. Save the detailed explanations for the interview.
- Put the job responsibilities in bullet point form, instead of a long paragraph. This makes it easier for interviewers and recruiters to read.
- Put your LinkedIn URL so people can learn more about you and connect.
- Use a standard font and size. Keep it consistent. Grammar and spell check your CV.
- Don’t leave any unexplained gaps and make sure your CV is current and UpToDate.
- Focus more on your achievements rather than responsibilities. Have a STAR Approach prepared for interviews based on your key achievements.
- Tailor make your CV for each job. Research the company or the job description and work out exactly what skills to point out the hiring managers.
- Have a summary/achievement section top of your CV.
- Read your CV as if you were the interviewer. Better yet get a colleague or a friend to read it and provide feedback.
- Believe that you are the best person applying for the job!
