Tips

- The information in the CV must be synchronized with each other


What is sync? Those are bullet points that must begin with the verb ending, not the verb but
the noun. Then, if you bold the name of the company, then the names of other companies
should also be bold. If using bullet points, use only one type of bullet point, don't put a dot,
place a *, place a dash like this -.

- The more numbers the better


Anyone can write 'Good job done' on a CV. To set yourself apart from other candidates, you
must demonstrate how well you do. Give specific figures, percentages, frequencies, specific
product names to prove. For example, instead of writing 'accomplished sales target' you could
write 'over target by 25% in 5 months' for example. Sounds more specific, right?

- Creation at the right time and in the right place


Some industries require a bit of creativity. For example, if you are applying for positions in
media, advertising, marketing and so on, your CV can be creative or colorful. However, if you
are applying for positions such as Finance, Accounting, Audit, it is best to write a basic black and
white CV.

- Remember to have context


What is the context? That for each work experience or extracurricular activity you list,
remember to include the time, location, and you did it. This will help the employer visualize and
better evaluate the work you have done.

- Don't use your personal name


Your CV is a professional copy, so avoid using personal words like 'I', 'me' or 'my' or 'your'. For
example, instead of writing “I hit and exceeded company sales quotas 100% of the time”, you
could write “Hit and exceeded sales quotas 100% of the time.”
