Get your CV noticed #2
Posted on 19th November 2020 at 12:09
For most of 2020 the candidate market has been turned on its head. We have been use to having lots of vacancies and very few candidates to having very few vacancies and in some cases thousands of applications. Companies have been slow to change their practices - but with an overwhelming number of applications what can you do to make your CV be noticed?
Now is the time to make sure that your CV stands out from the crowd. this doesn't involve bright colours and strange fonts!
Tip number 2
Use bullet points to show clearly your main responsibilities in each of your job roles.
Why?
Bullet points are much easier for the person assessing CVs to sift. Make sure that the bullet points at the top of the list are the ones that are most pertinent to the role for which you are applying, as they are the ones most likely to be read.
Tip: Re-read your bullet points and make sure that you aren't duplicating points, or saying the same thing in a different way - twice
