Create a strong CV/Resume that is short and snappy. Employers typically spend less than 30 seconds looking over your application, you’ll want to grab their attention from the get-go.
When it comes to CVs, one size does not fit all. Employers want to see how your skills and experience match the specific role they've advertised. Tailoring your CV to the job will set you apart.
Pick out key phrases from the job description to include in your own CV.
Have your main points highlighted, but don't put too much detail as that's what the interview is for!
Ensure the recruiter can see the key requirements of the role in your CV.
