Use the first screen well
- Name and reliable contact details.
- Target role or short professional headline.
- Two or three lines summarising relevant experience and strengths.
- Key skills that are supported by evidence elsewhere in the CV.
Turn duties into evidence
Begin with a strong action, describe the work and add a useful result. For example: reduced order errors by improving the stock-check process, or supported 40 customer enquiries per day while meeting response targets.
Tailor without rewriting everything
Keep a reliable master CV, then adjust the summary, skills order and most relevant examples for each role. Mirror accurate industry terms, but never copy requirements you cannot demonstrate.
Final CV check
- Dates and job titles are consistent.
- Spelling, phone number and email are correct.
- Links open without requiring access permission.
- File name is professional and easy to identify.
- Sensitive identity or banking information is not included.
