Want your CV to stand out? Here’s how to get noticed in a crowded job market.
With attention spans shorter than ever (and applicant tracking systems getting smarter), it’s crucial your CV works for you, not against you.
Here are 3 CV tips that can make a real difference:
1. Tailor it to the job – every time.
Generic CVs are easy to spot. Use keywords from the job description and highlight the most relevant experience up top.
2. Make your top third count – and keep it current.
Hiring managers often skim. Lead with a strong personal summary, core skills, and key achievements that are relevant to the role — and make sure your most recent job role is up to date. Don’t bury the good stuff.
3. Focus on impact, not just duties.
Use measurable results where you can. “Managed social media accounts” becomes more powerful as “Grew LinkedIn engagement by 200% in 6 months.”
In a competitive market, small changes can make a big impact.
