Structure and layout
Start with the essentials. A clear font and logical structure are the foundation. In a digital era, it’s important that your CV is easy to read both on screen and when printed. But it’s not just about aesthetics; a well-organized layout can help recruiters quickly find the information they are looking for.
Example:
Sofia, a recent marketing graduate, created a CV with clear headings, a clean layout, and used bold text to highlight keywords. This made it easy for recruiters to quickly identify her qualifications, resulting in more interviews.
Personal touch
Everyone has a unique story. By including this in your CV, you give a deeper insight into who you are. It’s not just about listing your achievements, but also about showing your passion, motivations, and what makes you unique.
Example:
Jacob included a brief description of how a summer internship in Spain inspired him to pursue a career in international business development. This personal touch gave his CV a human dimension that employers appreciated.
Customize for each job
It’s important to tailor your CV for each specific position. Employers can often identify a generic CV, and it may give the impression that you are not particularly interested in that position.
Example:
When Emma applied for jobs in both graphic design and web design, she created two versions of her CV. Each version emphasized the skills and experiences most relevant to the specific role, showing employers that she had put time and thought into her application.
Leverage technology
