List roles or projects in which you have consistently taken part in. Add 1 line about the project/role and your responsibilities. Keep it short, do not go into deep detail.
If you have 2/3 people who previously agreed to appear on your resume for references, add their details. If not – do not write “references will be supplied upon request”. Recruiters will ask for a reference if they wish.
Try to keep the CV document concise yet intentional. It is best to keep it to 1 page.
It is not recommended to add a photo. This may cause bias not necessarily in your favor. If they want to see what you look like, they will visit your social media profiles.
It is recommended to not write that you are “a leader, great team member, have initiative” etc. These descriptions are not taken seriously by recruiters.
A well-designed resume will attract the attention of the recruiter and may give you a few more seconds of attention. However, don’t overdo it, a kitschy or over-decorated design may achieve the exact opposite effect.
If you don’t know exactly how to describe your previous jobs in your CV, use terms you’ve seen in Job ads in Job sites because they mostly use acceptable professional terms.
Should your CV be adapted for every job you apply for? Speed of application is more important than absolute accuracy. Rather produce several versions of the CV so you can submit it quickly – and accurately – to different positions. If you apply for a position that requires a skill or experience that you have but did not highlight enough in your resume – you should add or emphasize it.
