How to write a CV that gets you noticed.
BONUS TIP: Word 👇🏼

In order for recruiters to easily search for your CV, your CV has to be in a searchable format. PDF documents restrict the ability of search engines to scan the content of a CV.

Word documents however, are easily scanned by search functions in recruiting software and online platforms, which means that they are much easier to find. 💡

You are welcome, thank us later 😉

How to write a CV that gets you noticed. Tip No 8. 👇🏼

Tailor your CV to the types of position you are applying for. If you are multi-disciplined and are applying to a variety of different roles that require different skills, make sure you create CV’s to cover all disciplines.

📌 Also, remember to keep updating it with relevant experience.
Don’t apply with a CV that is three years old, you will definitely have gained new experiences over that time, so remember to include them.

How to write a CV that gets you noticed. Tip No7. 👇🏼

Excellent, your CV looks amazing, you sound like the perfect addition to an employer’s team and it’s the perfect role for you, so the recruiter picks up the phone… AND there are no contact details on your CV. *DreamsDashed* 😅

Check, double check, even triple check that your contact details are on there and are correct.

Also, as most jobs require you to be in the office for part - if not all - of the week, please remember to put your location on your CV! This doesn't have to be your whole address, it can simply be the City/Town and County you live in.

How to write a CV that gets you noticed. Tip No6. 👇🏼

PROOFREAD 👀

Prospective employers will look for how much effort you have put into your CV, because this will likely reflect how much you put in at work. So, try to eliminate as many mistakes as you can. Use the spellcheck and get a friend to read it for you to make sure it makes sense.

How to write a CV that gets you noticed. Tip No5. 👇🏼

It is all about the KEYWORDS.

Not only will recruiters thank you for this, but you will thank yourself when your CV is appearing in a recruiter’s search for candidates to put forward for what could be your dream role. If you have applied for a role through a recruitment company your CV is now searchable by that office or if you have uploaded your CV to a UK-wide job site, your CV is now searchable to recruiters across the country.

Recruiters will search for candidates using keywords specific to a particular role and you will want to make sure that you pack as many keywords in your CV as possible. If you can use industry specific software or have specific skills make sure they are on there.

How to write a CV that gets you noticed. Tip No4. 👇🏼

Duties are dull lists of everything you do, but achievements show what impact you have had on previous employer businesses. For example, a duty could be “I make coffee for the office”; on the flip-side the achievement linked to this would be “I increased productivity in the office by 200% by keeping everyone hydrated.” The achievement sounds a lot better, right? 😉

You should be proud of your achievements and make sure that the person reading your CV knows just how great it would be if you joined their team. 🦸‍♂️

E-recruitment is a term we are hearing more frequently touted by software providers and industry experts, but what on earth does it mean? 🤔 What tech does it involve and how does it work? 🤷‍♂️

You will find the answers in this article on our website >> https://www.select.co.uk/blog/2021/09/what-is-e-recruitment

E-recruitment is simply the process of using a combination of web-based technology to take over the entirety of the recruitment process.

How to write a CV that gets you noticed. Tip No3. 👇🏼

You wouldn't dream of turning up to an interview in your pyjamas would you? 😬 So, why let your CV go out wearing slippers and a dressing gown? Make sure your CV looks nice and neat.

Don’t make the typeface too small to cram more in and make sure you have clearly defined headers. ✅
