Please make sure your CV comply with ATS (Applicant Tracking System) Do not put any picture in your CV, do not bold anything and do not colour our CV remember ATS can only screen plain black and white text. Average recruiter in the UK doesn’t spend more than 10 seconds to screen a CV. And for the experienced hire employer only care about a candidate working experiences. Hiring Managers are typically very busy and will often be put off by long CVs or may not have the time to work through the whole CV. It’s important to keep you CV short, concise and ensure it’s structured so that the most relevant information is towards the top of the CV. Make sure that you keep a positive and formal tone throughout and make sure that everything you write is relevant, and tailored to the position you are applying to I.e. make sure your ambitions and motivations match up with the requirements of the position and make sure that the skills and competencies also match up with the responsibilities of the position. Finally make sure you that you thoroughly check it and get somebody else to check it for spelling and grammar mistakes.
Name, Address, Phone number LinkedIn id, and email address.
This is the first part of your CV and the first thing somebody is going to read so it needs to have an impression. It should be maximum 3-4 sentence long and between 50 and 150 words. The summary/ profile should include your experience/ qualifications what you can offer and what you’re looking for. It’s important to not overuse buzzwords and to keep it short, tidy, and impactful.
Please highlight our UK experience and remember UK employer would not be much keen to your abroad experiences. We suggest writing your CV in reverse chronological order with your current position at the top of the list. We’d typically suggest 6-8 bullet points for each position describing your role and responsibility and then a further 2-3 bullet points under each detailing your achievements. It’s important to include technical information in your employment history that is specific to the position you are applying for i.e. for an audit manager, audit rules, client sizes, portfolio size, technical knowledge, and experience etc. If you have had lots of jobs, then include them on your CV but make sure your most recent and most relevant positions have more detail than perhaps a job you had over 10+ years ago or a job which has no relevance o the position you are applying for.
Make sure that all the information you include in your CV is accurate and not misleading as this could cause you issues at interview stage. Display higher education and any professional qualifications or additional qualifications that are relevant to the position. Also, do not highlight our educational qualifications on the CV if its doesn’t relevant to the role. Hiring Manager is more interested in your professional qualification rather than academic qualifications.
It’s important again to make sure that you list your key skills that are relevant to the position in order of priority and fit for the role. As an example, things to consider are technical skills, managerial skills, software skills, IT skills and so on…
