Tips on What To Include In CV
Creating a professional CV is crucial for making a positive impression on potential employers. Start by keeping it clear and concise—aim for one to two pages. Use a clean, easy-to-read font like Arial or Calibri, and organize information with headings for sections such as Contact Information, Personal Statement, Work Experience, Education, Skills, and Certifications. Tailor your CV to each job by highlighting relevant experience and skills that align with the role’s requirements. Use bullet points to describe your achievements with specific metrics where possible, as numbers provide concrete evidence of your contributions. Finally, proofread carefully to avoid any spelling or grammar errors, as these can detract from a polished presentation.
