Your CV: the essentials

Your CV is your opportunity to showcase your skills and achievements to a potential employer. However, many job seekers focus on listing their previous job titles and duties rather than demonstrating their capabilities. This common method is actually not best practice and could be screening you out of potential opportunities. A stand-out CV focuses on achievement vs responsibility.

Companies are interested in how your skill sets and the projects you have worked on have made an impact on the organisation and its goals. In order to capture a hiring manager's attention quickly, you should focus on presenting information in a way that allows them to see your suitability for the role immediately. This means highlighting your key skills and achievements up front and summarising your experience in a single paragraph.
