DIY Tips for Writing a Strong CV

See below for some top DIY tips if you are going to produce your own CV. Though remember a CV writer should have years of experience in both recruitment and consulting with Clients.

  1. Use Clear Formatting:
    • Readability: Ensure your CV is well-organised with clear headings, consistent font sizes, and appropriate use of bullet points.
    • Professional Appearance: Avoid overly elaborate designs. A clean, professional layout is preferred.
  2. Tailor Your CV:
    • Customisation: Customise your CV for each job application. Highlight skills and experiences that are most relevant to the job description.
    • Job Description Alignment: Reflect the language and requirements of the job listing to show that you’re a good fit.
  3. Quantify Achievements:
    • Impact: Quantify your achievements using numbers and specific examples (e.g., “Increased sales by 20% in one year” or “Managed a team of 10”).
    • Evidence: Quantifying results gives concrete evidence of your contributions and effectiveness.
  4. Focus on Keywords:
    • ATS-Friendly: Incorporate keywords from the job description to ensure your CV is ATS-compatible.
    • Relevance: Keywords should naturally fit into your job descriptions and skill sections.
  5. Proofread:
    • Accuracy: Carefully proofread your CV to eliminate any typos, grammatical errors, or inconsistencies.
    • Polish: Consider having a friend or mentor review your CV to catch mistakes you might have missed.
