RESUMÉ SYNOPSIS

Be concise! Your Executive Summary should be a

List your past roles in chronological
order, highlight some key
responsibilities and key achievements.
COVER LETTER
short introductory paragraph that
introduces you and what you are
looking for in your next career move.
This is your ’why’ or your ’purpose’.
Why you do what you do.

Take the time to customise and

personalise your cover letter to each
individual role that you apply for. Avoid
being generic. Be professional. Be
memorable.
YOUR DIGITAL FOOTPRINT
Think of your online presence as a street facing retail shop. Are you well merchandised? Is your display
content appropriate for what you are trying to sell?

73 percent of people aged 10 to 34 found their last job via a social platform. Similarly, a significant
portion of potential employers also use social platforms to screen candidates — sometimes even before
proceeding to interviews.

The attention span online is traditionally fleeting, so make sure you catch the readers attention at first
glance. Format your profile — much like your CV, paragraphs, subheadings, bullet-points where
possible. Use the job title(s) you’re applying for and the key deliverables from the JD throughout your
CV — increase relevance and chance of automated search engines highlighting your CV.

What does your Social Media footprint say about you?

 POST
Research topics that are trending in
your market, formulate informed
opinions and post engaging content
with your followers.
Build credibility and show initiative.
SHARE
Connect with like-minded professionals,
like, comment, share and subscribe to
content that is relevant to your market.
Grow your professional network and
leverage of your industry leaders.
