Your CV need to show your unique blend of skills and experience. Include
successes,conflict resolution, problem solving or managerial
accomplishments.
Keep your CV simple.
State a clear objective for applying.
Don‘t write a CV that fits a broad range of professions. Taylor the CV to the industry and pinpoint the aspects of your experience match the role you are seeking
Highlight key skills, experiences etc that will make you stand out from the crowd.
Describe achievements instead of listing duties, E.g. “ordered and
replenished stock daily” sounds more like a job description. Rather write
what you achieved; e.g closely monitored sales trend to aid in replenishing
stock: reduced out of stock by 19%.
Phrases like ‘responsible for ordering stock’ can make your
CV read like a job description. Instead, describe what you did
and what the positive outcome was, like, ‘by closely
monitoring sales trends and stock levels, I reduced out of
stock instances by 21%’.
Avoid errors at all costs. Check and recheck for typos, grammar, conflicting information such as dates, incorrect email address and phone number.
Regularly update your CV to match your current educational and
professional qualifications
