Tips for a CV that gets interviews
- One or two pages. Recruiters skim; put your strongest, most recent work first.
- Start bullets with a verb and a number: “Cut reporting time from 3 days to 2 hours” beats “Responsible for reports”.
- Match the job ad. Use the same skill names the posting uses so ATS filters find you.
- Skip the photo, age and marital status unless the employer or country expects them.
