Your Best CV is a “Clean CV”: Expert Support in Preparing Your CV

If you are currently looking for a new role or are about to start looking then getting your CV looking professional but also working effectively is crucial. Humans are still reviewing CVs but now we have the added complication of AI powered screening and tracking systems that may initially receive your document.

Here I’m including some Top Tips to prepare your CV for the contemporary world but for more in-depth advice including;

· The Ellison Coast guide to preparing your “Clean CV”

· Templates for experienced professionals and graduates to copy

· PLUS a video course by James Parkin, covering “How the Professionals Apply on Your Behalf” giving you the effective strategies that professional recruiters use to get your CV in front of the right people

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
