Your CV serves as the initial point of contact with recruiters — so it needs to be clear, concise, and tailored to the job you want. Begin with alignment — cut old or mismatched positions and highlight the skills and achievements that match the job description. Demonstrate results with concrete data, such as boosted revenue by 20% or cut workflow duration by 50%. Numbers stand out and make your contributions tangible.

Ensure visual harmony throughout your CV. Use a easily readable font including Georgia or Open Sans, and ensure section titles are clearly visible. Steer clear of dense text; opt for concise bulleted lists and make it easier to scan. Hiring professionals typically review CVs in under half a minute, so position key achievements front and center.

Never use a one-size-fits-all CV. Avoid mass-submitting identical resumes. Analyze the description thoroughly and emulate the phrasing from the ad. If leadership is highlighted, showcase your supervisory achievements. If specific tech is named, include it verbatim.

Include a short professional summary at the top that defines your professional essence and key contributions. Keep it brief — 3–4 lines max. Ditch overused phrases such as "detail-oriented" or "results-driven" — replace them with concrete achievements.

Ensure your contact details reflect professionalism. Use a clean, professional email using your full name, never use outdated or https://curriculum.losblogos.com/35942280/ghid-detaliat-pentru-a-ți-descoperi-drumul-profesional-pași-esențiali-pentru-succes slang-based addresses. Proofread meticulously for spelling and syntax. Even one mistake can make you seem careless.

Never exceed two pages unless absolutely necessary. If you’re early in your career, one page is usually enough. If you have decades of experience, focus on the last 10 to 15 years and leave out early roles unless they’re highly relevant. Substance outweighs volume.
