Does your CV grab the attention of potential employers?

Does your CV grab the attention of potential employers?

Simple facts: Your CV is your visit card, kind of a personal brand, and gives potential employers the very first impression of you. The application process is a sales process, your CV is your advertising brochure, and you are the ‘product’.

Nowadays, a single job advertisement attracts dozens if not hundreds of applications. Therefore, you need to stand out from the applicants’ crowd with an outstanding CV, and leave an impeccable first impression, both in terms of attractive design (eyecatcher) and relevant content (resonance).

The motto is: 'Be pleasantly different from all the others!'

Statistically, a recruiter spends on average ca. 43 seconds to review a CV. Put yourself in the shoes of the recruiter for a moment. Imagine you are sitting at a desk; you are tired and in front of you lays a huge pile of CVs, that you need to screen fast and make a first preselection of the candidates. ?

What would you want to see on a brilliant CV?

  • Clear structure/pleasant layout
  • Relevant qualifications and work experience
  • Easy-to-follow content without time gaps
  • Information matches the requirements of the job advertisement
  • Professional application photo
  • Achievements related to the advertised role
  • USP and the more value a candidate can bring to the employing company

What would discredit a CV completely?

  • Chaotic structure
  • Little or no relevant qualifications/experiences
  • Inexplicable time gaps
  • Poor, neutral, dull layout (headings, fonts, colors, etc.)
  • Inappropriate CV length (more than 2 pages)
  • Spelling/Grammar mistakes
  • Inappropriate application photo
  • One-size-suits-all CV
