Three Tips for a Great CV

A CV (or curriculum vitae) or resume is a written statement of your educational and professional accomplishments. It's an important facet of your job hunt that may make you stand out from the competition.

(1) Customize your CV for the position you're going for: Do your homework on the school or employer/position before you begin creating your CV. This will make it easier for you to identify and assess the main credentials and talents the company is seeking and guarantee that your CV is customized to meet their needs.

(2) Keep it succinct and pertinent: Your CV should be focused on the material that is most pertinent to the position you are looking for. Even highly qualified candidates with extensive experience can write a single-page CV. Exclude any material that is out-of-date or irrelevant.

(3) Use appropriate terms and phrases. Many businesses use applicant tracking systems (ATS) to filter resumes before human recruiters even see them. Use terms and phrases that are pertinent to the position you're going for in your CV to make sure it is identified via these systems and not disregarded.

(4) Highlight your accomplishments: Instead of just describing your duties, be sure to mention your successes. To illustrate your abilities and the influence you made in your past employment, provide specific instances. (5) Edit, revise, check, re-revise, and check one more time before submitting it to ensure there are no typos, grammatical mistakes, or consistency issues.
