The Best CV Template

Do you feel embarrassed when people ask for your CV?

I know the bitter taste of an outdated CV. And with so much information around it is really overwhelming to start updating yours.

A modern CV is a strategic letter, like a sales letter. When it comes to us, international people around their 40s, one of the most tricky things is to decide when to cut off old experiences.?

You don’t need all your experience on your CV - use LinkedIn for that as well.

Leave more details on your LinkedIn profile, otherwise, you’ll come up with a long and boring CV.

Here are 3 actionable steps you can follow and get started to update your CV finally.

STEP ONE - PERSONAL INFORMATION

No need to write too much personal information on your CV or Resume.

What you need there is:

? Name

? Email

? Telephone

? Location

? LinkedIn URL

STEP TWO - HEADLINE

Your CV or Resume headline must match exactly the job title you’re applying for. It’s your job position target.

STEP THREE - OPTIMIZE IT WITH KEYWORDS AND QUANTIFY YOUR EXPERIENCE

It’s like using SEO (search engine optimization) techniques also on your CV. Research the job posts and find at least 5 words that you can also use on your CV.

The key to a CV transformation is to face it as a strategic part of your job hunting plan and not as a mere (and boring) collection of tasks.

And my last piece of advice is to work on quantifying your experience and your measurable results. ?

This is what I call a SmartCV?: when you tie up what employers are looking for with your strengths and past experiences anchored in results. It’s an unbeatable combination!

I know how overwhelming reshaping a CV can be. This is why I decided to make my OWN CV available on a Google Doc file - Because who doesn't love a little brain break and a helping hand in our career while still having a CV that gets you job interviews? Just click and download.
