CV Writing Tips

1. Keep It Concise

• Limit your CV to 1–2 pages, especially if you have under 10 years of experience.
• Recruiters often spend less than 10 seconds reviewing a CV.
• Avoid unnecessary details such as full addresses, hobbies (unless relevant), or outdated experiences.

2. Highlight Achievements

• Focus on measurable outcomes (e.g., “Increased sales by 25% in 6 months”).
• Use action verbs like led, implemented, optimized, launched.
• Avoid vague terms like “responsible for.”

3. Tailor for Each Role

A generic CV gets ignored. Instead, customize your CV for each job posting by matching keywords from the description.

4. Formatting & Design

• Use a professional font (Calibri, Helvetica, or Lato).
• Maintain consistent spacing, bold job titles, and italicize dates.
• Ensure ATS-friendliness (avoid images, use simple layouts).
