Why Your CV Matters

Your CV is the first conversation you have with the market. It must communicate clarity, capability and intent. In global industries, a well-structured CV is more important than ever because it needs to pass both human review and ATS screening.

How to Strengthen Your CV

Keep your layout clean and simple. Avoid graphics, logos, tables or scanned documents. Use an easy-to-read font and keep formatting consistent throughout.

How to Strengthen Your CV

• your first name, surname and personal email address

• your phone number with international dialling code

• your country of residence and city of residence

• a short professional profile summarising your career focus

• key skills (both technical and soft) placed near the top

• language proficiency where relevant

Help the ATS Find You

Most hiring systems which are knows as ATS (Applicant Tracking Systems) scan for keywords linked to the job description. Make sure your CV includes the skills, technologies, certifications and competencies relevant to the roles you want. A clear structure helps the system read your CV correctly.

Present Your Experience Clearly

List your employment history in reverse chronological order, including:

• job title

• company name

• start and end dates (month and year)

• responsibilities

• measurable achievements where possible

Keep the document concise. One to two pages is ideal for most professionals.

File Format

Submit your CV as a Word document or clean PDF. Avoid scanned PDFs, as they cannot be read by ATS systems.
