1. Tailor your CV to a specific job<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

When looking for a job, you might get tempted to apply for as many opportunities as you can. However, this can negatively affect your search success.<\/p>\n

When you apply for multiple positions, you\u2019ll likely have a generic CV going out to all the organizations. With this, there will be little connection with a specific employer.<\/p>\n

To fix this, write your CV with every application you make. Take time and go through the job description. Then, highlight the areas in your CV that match the company’s needs.<\/p>\n

For example, if you see they are looking for a professional with a certain skill, if you possess the skill, it should be the first skill you highlight on your Curriculum Vitae.<\/p>\n

The description can help you write a CV to what a particular employer is looking for.<\/p>\n

2. Select a relevant CV format when writing a CV<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

There are countless formats you can choose from when writing a CV. Some reduce the information to fit one page, there are those with infographics, and so forth.<\/p>\n

Before writing your CV,\u00a0think about the message you\u2019d like to portray to the employer.<\/p>\n

A professional Curriculum Vitae Format<\/a> should be neat and clearly segmented. An employer won\u2019t spend time trying to figure out where you put your educational background.<\/p>\n
