Additional tips

Read the job description thoroughly so you know what skills and experience we are looking for in applicants. You can then use this information to align the attributes with your own personal skills and experience, and then highlight these within your CV.

When reading a CV, the recruiter and company focus on your Employment History section, so ensure this is detailed and relevant for the job you are applying for. Keep other sections of your CV short and concise.

Try to keep your CV to two pages of A4 maximum.

LinkedIn is now a major tool for recruiters and companies who are actively hiring. Therefore, having an active LinkedIn profile with an up-to-date CV attached, will really increase your visibility on the market. Alternatively, you can create a hyperlink on your CV that takes the recruiter to your LinkedIn page.
