The Importance of a Strong Personal Statement

Your CV should start with a compelling personal statement that highlights your strengths and career goals. Keep it concise and tailored to the role.

Listing Experience Chronologically (Backwards!)

Always list your work experience in reverse chronological order. Highlight achievements rather than just responsibilities.

The Power of Keywords

Many employers use CV-scanning software. Use industry-relevant keywords to ensure your CV makes it through.

Formatting & Presentation

A cluttered CV won’t get read. Keep it professional, easy to skim, and no more than two pages long.
