Many jobseekers struggle to land job interviews
WHY?
They are making common CV writing mistakes
Take on board the below key points and your CV application to job interview ratio will
be transformed
- Keep your CV Short and Sweet | Your CV should never go beyond 2-pages (750 words MAX). There are only two or three professions that can break this rule
- Strong Professional Summary | You must grab the attention in the first 5-10 seconds. Don’t populate your summary with generic terms e.g., motivated
- Easy to Read and Navigate | If you’re spending too much time on Canva, you’re probably going to fall down on this point. KEEP YOUR LAYOUT SIMPLE!!
- Bullet Points | You can’t use enough bullet points!! They make your CV easy read
- Use POWER VERBS | AKA Action Verbs. These verbs bring energy, energy wins!!
- Show ME the Money | Focus on achievements. DON’T list duties and responsibilities, they are boring! Showcase outcomes and results!!
- Critical Info on Page One | You MUST get key information on page one, or risk it not being read. Make it easier for any employer to pick you for interview!!
NB: Simple changes can transform your results
