The Recruiters Top 5 Tips to Preparing a “Clean CV”

1. Remember the role of the CV, its only job is to work as a hook and get you that call or meeting where you can “sell yourself” in person which much more context and detail. You don’t have to include everything in this document, just enough to match the headlines that the hirer is advertising

2. A Clean CV is a winning CV. Keep your formatting clean and clear

3. Always include an “About Me” section at the botton of the document, the client wants to know about who you are outside of work

4. Using AI to generate a draft CV is fine but make sure you change enough of the language so it sounds like you

5. Don’t bother with cover letters unless specifically asked, as no one reads them
