How to write a good CV

Recruiters usually spend only a short time on each resume, so the most important information should be visible at a glance: your name, job title, contact details and a 2-4 sentence summary. Use the summary to describe your area of expertise, years of experience and one standout achievement.

In the experience section, show results instead of listing duties. Rather than "worked on the company website", write measurable statements like "reduced page load time by 40 percent". Put your most recent role at the top and bring forward what is relevant to each job ad.

Many companies screen applications with applicant tracking systems (ATS) first. Clean, single-column templates are usually easier for these systems to read. Adding keywords from the job ad naturally to your summary and skills also helps your CV match. Proofread before sending and submit the file as a PDF.
