One of the most common questions I get asked is: “How do I write a strong profile and create a CV that gets noticed?”
So here are some tips to help you create a great first impression.
Start with a strong personal profile:
Your opening paragraph should highlight who you are, what you do, and what you’re aiming for. Keep it concise (3–4 lines) and focused on your strengths and career goals.
Tailor your CV:
‘One size fits all’ approach doesn’t work, adapt your C.V to match the role and industry you’re applying for.
Show impact, not just duties:
Highlight your achievements under your main duties bullet points. Use numbers, percentages, or examples to show the value you added to the team.
Keep it clean and easy to read:
Simple layouts, bullet points, and clear headings make a big difference. Companies may receive a high volume of CVs, so they will skim-read for key information first – make key information stand out.
Your CV is your first impression – so make it count!
