10 CV TIPS FOR YOUNG PROFESSIONALS/STUDENTS

• Your CV should be ALWAYS submitted in PDF format. If you submit in word format, it will get messed up and hard to read. Save it as a PDF or don’t waste your time formatting.

• Include your graduation year. Don’t put 2016-present.

• Save your CV as your first and last name, not CV or resume.

• Tailor your CV to the job you are applying to, and change key words to match those you see in the job description to assist AI in searching. Some vacancies get over a thousand applications and most of the time, AI is used to disqualify applicants.

• Your CV should always be under a page unless you have at least 10+ years of experience.

• Don’t put your job responsibilities, instead focus on what you have accomplished and things you can quantify. For instance, don’t put “assisted customers”, rather say something like “assisted 60+ customers weekly in doing …”

• Putting your full address in your CV is not advisable for security reasons. Stating the city and state of residence will suffice.

• Unless your CGPA is 3.6 above, don’t include it. Putting a low CGPA can lower your chances of being selected over students with higher CGPA.

• It is crucial to review your CV on a regular basis and add any new skills or experience that is missing. For example, if you have just done some volunteering or worked on a new project, make sure they are on there – potential employers are always impressed with candidates who go extra mile to boost their skills and experience.

• Your LinkedIn profile should also be optimized to enable you attract the right employers.

• BONUS TIP: It is advisable you address your cover letter to the hiring manager/recruiter. Cover letters should be unique to each position.
