Personal Statement
Please don’t leave this out. Companies aren’t into just skills. This is a chance to set out your intentions, so go for it, but remember to make it A: informative, B: factual, C: quantifiable and honest. Avoid describing your personality and instead focus on achievements and what you want to do next.
You can let your personality loose in an about-me section at the end of your CV! Include hobbies here, too—it will show you who you are, and often breaks the ice!
CV’s need SEO
Yep, you read it here first. In a digital world, you need to include keywords on your CV. Put yourself in your recruiter’s shoes and choose words and phrases on your CV that we will look for! Can you use Excel for computer programs and software? To what proficiency? - Get it on there! The more you showcase your skills, the better.
Explain
Explain the businesses you have worked for, their industry, the unique selling point or their mission as a business underneath the title and dates worked to and from - trust us, it makes for easier reading.
Underneath, you can list your responsibilities in bullet points, with a small achievements section at the end to round it all off.
