Make your CV easier to understand.
Present relevant experience so recruiters can see the connection to a role.
Lead with relevant information
Use a clear job title or professional summary and current contact information. Adapt the emphasis to the role while keeping every statement accurate.
Describe your contribution
List recent work in a consistent order. Explain what you were responsible for and add concise examples of outcomes you can substantiate. Avoid unsupported percentages and inflated job titles.
Keep the document readable
Use clear headings and a simple layout. Save a PDF or DOCX, check that the text can be selected, and use a professional filename. A photo, identity document, or sensitive financial information is generally unnecessary for an initial profile.
Review before sharing
Check spelling, dates, phone number, and links. Ask how your document will be handled and send it only through a confirmed submission channel. Never include confidential documents from a previous employer.
