🔥Bonus Tips To Elevate Your CV Further!
To help you even further, here are bonus CV tips which you can implement straight away when using the template:
CV Tip | Example |
Use action verbs when starting off each point in your Experience section | Instead of “I led a team of X to…”
You would say “Led a team of X to …” |
Quantify and provide results in your Experience section | Show the impact you had in the role
Say “Developed a system that increased efficiency by 10%” |
Have two copies of your CV (Word document and PDF) | The PDF version would be sent with your application as this works better with the ATS systems companies have
The Word version you would keep and edit, when necessary, then export to a PDF when ready
|
Always name your CV with something simple | Remember to name your CV file in a way that makes it easy for recruiters/hiring managers to know it is your CV
Example naming: “Rayaan Farah_CV” |
