How to ensure your CV stands out in a crowded market
Here are some simple tips that can help….
- Focus on achievements and outcomes, avoiding duties and responsibilities
- Insert a strong professional summary to grab the reader in the first 10-seconds
- Less is more – your CV should be no longer than 2-pages (750 words MAX)
- Ensure critical information is on the first page (don’t assume 2nd page will be read
- Use bullet points – make it easier for the reader to digest the information
- Start all statements with “action verbs” e.g., delivered, transformed, or increased
- Use uniform fonts and styles – again, simple is easier to read and navigate
- DON’T use columns – harder to read and ATS don’t like them
- DON’T have a key skills section – waste of space
