Resume Writing | Less is More!

STOP WRITING!!

Think RELEVANT!! What content is relevant for the reader?

  • What roles are relevant?
  • Which components of these roles/achievements are relevant?
  • Are all your courses/qualifications relevant?
  • What additional information is relevant?
  • What IT skills are relevant?

Suddenly, you don’t have as much to write!!!

Now, consider these points too

  1. Your CV should be no longer that 2-pages, circa 750 words MAX (a few exceptions)
  2. Use bullet points! I love bullet points, as do most CV reviewers!!
  3. Write achievement-led statements, keeping them short and sweet
  4. Start all bullet points with an ACTION VERB e.g., Delivered, Achieved
  5. When you finish writing your CV, audit to remove any final wishy-washy words
  6. Your professional summary should be 5 to 7 one-liner bullet points
