It’s easy to underestimate the importance of your cv to a potential new employer but more importantly in your career and job search success.
Your CV is your personal sales brochure, it needs to portray your work history both professionally and confidently. You may not think you need to update your cv as you’ve not changed jobs for a while.
This is wrong, every day we learn something new whether this is an IT programme, new job duty and mostly a new career aspiration. That’s why you must make sure this is clear on your cv to the employer reading it.
Here a few tips to help you to ensure your cv stands out from the crowd in your job search.
Keep your cv short and clear with first-class content, ideally a maximum of three pages.
Remember ourselves and future employers are often going through multiple CVs. Make your cv stand out for the right reason!
A CV is your brochure and your introduction to a new company.
· Name at the top, followed by a short profile description of you.
· Underneath your profile add your key skills and don’t be shy.
· Start with your work history with your latest role at the top and first role at the end.
· Describe under each job your duties, skills learnt and gained showcasing your demonstrable and measurable for the role you are applying.
· Follow this with your qualifications, relevant exams and your IT skills.
· Add interests to show some off your personality and any reference details you have.
Check spelling and grammar.
Make sure there are no spelling or grammar mistakes and have this checked more than twice! As this can be something that stops your job search application from being taken any further.
Breath some life into it making you stand out for the positive!.
Tailor your cv for the specific role you are applying for.
Ensure the most relevant experience you have what’s needed for the role of your job search is shown.
Include a profile section but keep it short. Highlight your career goals, personal and professional achievements, core skills. This will show your potential new employer what sets you personally above the competition.
