Your CV is still your main calling card when looking for a job. Often, it speaks for you — before you even get the chance to show who you are in an interview.
That’s why a well-structured, clear, and tailored CV can be the deciding factor in catching a recruiter’s attention.
In this article, we share 5 quick and practical tips to improve your CV and increase your chances of being invited for an interview.
Avoid generic phrases like “I’m a responsible and dedicated person.” Instead, write 2 to 3 lines that genuinely reflect your background, area of interest, and career objective.
Example:
“I have experience in customer service and enjoy dynamic environments. I’m looking for a new challenge in the commercial field.”
This kind of summary shows clarity and direction — two qualities recruiters really value.
Make it easier to read by listing your most recent professional and academic experiences first. This is the most common and preferred format among recruiters, as it quickly shows your career progression and current context.
Extra tip: Include clear dates and don’t leave unexplained time gaps.
You don’t need to rewrite your CV from scratch for every application, but it’s important to make adjustments. Highlight the experiences, projects, or skills that are most relevant to the role you’re applying for.
Example:
Applying for a logistics role? Emphasize your experience with deadlines, organization, and management systems.
Volunteer work, online courses, workshops, or even personal projects show initiative and a willingness to learn.
Example: An Excel course, a social media project, or attending an event in your field — it all counts!
Spelling mistakes, incorrect dates, or missing information can come across as a lack of attention to detail — and are easily avoidable.
Read your CV carefully, ask someone else to review it, or use proofreading tools. A well-written CV reflects care and professionalism.
