Career Guide
A strong CV is not just a list of jobs. It is evidence that you can solve the exact problems the employer is hiring for.
Open your CV with a 3-4 line profile that states your role, years of experience, and strongest domain skills.
Why this matters: recruiters scan quickly. A focused summary helps them decide in seconds that your CV matches the role.
Reuse the exact skills and tools listed in the job post where they are true for your experience.
Why this matters: many companies use ATS filters before humans review applications. Matching language improves shortlist chances.
Use bullet points with action + result, for example: “Reduced API response time by 40% through query optimization.”
Why this matters: outcomes prove capability better than responsibilities. Numbers make your work credible and memorable.
Use clear headings, short bullets, and consistent formatting. Keep the document to 1-2 pages.
Why this matters: hiring teams review many CVs under time pressure. Simple structure increases readability and reduces rejection risk.
Expand the last 5-8 years in detail and compress unrelated older roles into shorter entries.
Why this matters: relevance beats volume. Recruiters want to quickly see whether your recent work aligns with current role demands.
