Tell a Story
It’s time to get personal
You’re trying to sell yourself on a piece of paper, but it can be hard to encompass your personality and values purely through your previous experience.
Show us your human factor, get a bit personal, have some fun with it!
Show us who you are, not just what you’ve accomplished.
No space for assumptions
Give the full story
Recruiters and hiring managers get bombarded with CV’s and applications and often have to make shortlists purely through screening CVs.
Don’t give people the chance to make assumptions!
Give the full story. Had a career break – tell us why, left a job – what was the reason? Give some background! It could mean the difference between an interview or the no pile.
Keep it Concise
Optimise key words
While it’s good to tell a story, you still want to keep your CV short and sharp!
Be clever and concise with your wording, and try to incorporate keywords to make more of an impact!
Easy Breezy
Readability is key
Save the lengthy paragraphs for later, give us all the dot points!
Make it as easy for the reader to consume as possible!
You’ve got this!
Remember to let them know who you are!
