Do: Highlight skills
Don’t: Exaggerate skills
A tip to have your CV evaluated more favorably than other candidates is to remember to list the soft skills and technical skills that are relevant to the job requirements. For example, for office workers, you may highlight computer skills and interpersonal skills. As for teaching jobs, you can emphasize skills such as presentation skills and delivery skills.
This will assist recruiters in assessing the extent to which you match the job’s demands and subsequently increase your chances of being invited for an interview.
However, a mistake to avoid is “exaggerating” skills that you don’t own. You cannot claim to be a master of Excel when you only have basic knowledge, or say that you’ve mentored thousands of students when your actual mentoring experience is on a much smaller scale.
Recruiters can easily verify during the interview process whether you are being truthful or not. Therefore, it’s important to be sincere and focus on the skills you truly possess when writing your CV, in order to construct a professional and reliable image with potential employers.
Do: Use bullet points
Don’t: Write Paragraphs
A concise and readable CV will effortlessly capture the attention of recruiters. Therefore, it’s advisable to limit the use of paragraphs in your CV and instead utilize bullet points to present information in a list format, making your CV neat and more visually appealing. Besides, this approach will serve to highlight important information as well as your achievements within your CV.
