Here are some tips for candidates in the job market today:

👉🏼Tailor your CV for each job application: Don’t use a one-size-fits-all approach. Read the job description and customize your CV to match the requirements of the position.

👉🏼Keep it concise: Your CV should be no longer than two pages. Use bullet points and clear, concise language to highlight your skills and experience.

👉🏼Highlight your achievements: Use quantifiable metrics to demonstrate your impact in previous roles. This could include revenue generated, cost savings achieved, or number of clients acquired.

👉🏼Use keywords: Many companies use applicant tracking systems (ATS) to scan CVs for specific keywords. Make sure you include relevant keywords throughout your CV to increase your chances of passing through the ATS.

👉🏼Keep it professional: Use a clean, easy-to-read font, and avoid using colours or graphics that may distract from the content of your CV.

👉🏼Include relevant experience: If you’re changing careers, highlight transferable skills or experiences that are relevant to the new role.

👉🏼Show your personality: While it’s important to keep your CV professional, you can still inject some personality into it. This could be done through your writing style or by including hobbies and interests that demonstrate your unique qualities.

👉🏼Get a second opinion: Ask a friend or mentor to review your CV and provide feedback. They may catch errors or offer suggestions for improvement that you may have missed.
