What stands out on a CV?

To make your CV (also commonly called a resume) stand out, you can do these things:

  • Use a professional resume template to present your information
  • Include some colour so your resume isn’t just black and white
  • Spend time writing an excellent CV profile or professional summary
  • List all of you career highlights and achievements
  • Use numbers as evidence to back up your achievements
  • Mention the skills in the job description
  • List industry-related keywords and qualifications you have
  • Highlight career progression in your professional summary
  • Prestigious education history (like graduating from top Universities or having studied overseas)
  • List all certifications or licences that qualify you for the job

Writing a well written matching cover letter to accompany your CV will help it stand out to any employer.

You can find professional resume templates and matching cover letters at recruitablehub.com.
