    CVs that Stand Out

    Social Media16 Nov, 2025

    Recruiters read a lot of CVs — but the best ones aren’t flashy. They’re clear, concise, and easy to follow.

    We often help candidates “declutter” their CVs. Here’s what makes the biggest difference:
    1️⃣ Keep it clean and properly formatted (less WordArt headers 😅, more bullet points).
    2️⃣ Add context, not just keywords.
    3️⃣ Show progression — not just duties.

    And my colleagues’ #1 tip? Add detail.
    “Sourcing new talent” vs. “Sourcing and placing talent in the IT, Engineering, and Finance industries using (tool1), (tool2), and (tool3).”

    You’re not writing for robots — you’re writing for real people.
    (Though yes, sometimes the robots help us find you. 💻)
