CV Do’s

1. Tailor It to the Job
Customize your CV for each role using keywords from the job ad.

2. Keep It Clear and Concise
Stick to 1–2 pages max. Use bullet points and clear headings.

3. Start Strong
Begin with a short personal summary highlighting your skills and experience.

4. Show Results
Use numbers to quantify achievements (e.g., “Reduced costs by 15%”).

5. Use Action Words
Start each point with verbs like led, created, improved, delivered.

6. Update Contact Info
Include a professional email, phone number, and LinkedIn profile.

7. Proofread
No typos. No grammar mistakes. Always double-check.

CV Don’ts

1. Don’t Use One Generic CV
Recruiters can spot a copy-paste job from a mile away.

2. Don’t Lie
False qualifications or experience can backfire badly.

3. Don’t Include Unnecessary Personal Info
Skip ID numbers, marital status, or photos (unless required).

4. Don’t Use Slang or Emojis
Keep it professional in tone and format.

5. Don’t Leave Gaps Unexplained
Briefly mention the reason for employment gaps (e.g., study, travel).

6. Don’t Use an Unprofessional Email
Your email should reflect your name, not your personality.
