How to Make Your CV Stand Out

CV Tips for Job Seekers

A standout CV can significantly improve your chances of landing that dream job. Avoid poor-quality CVs that might prevent you from even getting an interview. Here are some key tips to make your CV stand out!


Use a Clear and Professional Layout

Keep your CV concise—no more than 2.5 A4 pages. Use a clean, readable template with professional fonts, avoiding busy designs. Structure it in reverse chronological order, starting with your most recent experience.


Focus on Key Achievements and Tailor Your CV

Highlight recent job roles and customize your CV to match the job you're applying for. Emphasize key achievements and ensure you avoid any spelling or grammar errors.


A well-structured CV won't guarantee the job, but a poorly written one can cost you the interview. Screen shot below for more tips!
