Here are 6 tips from Tom O’Neil at www.cv.co.nz
1️⃣ Tailor every CV
Align your CV to each role by mirroring keywords from the job ad, ensuring your skills match the employer’s needs.
2️⃣ Strong Professional / Executive Summary
Ensure you have a clear, engaging Professional / Executive Summary that ‘mirror’s’ the keywords the employer is seeking - making you a ‘solution to the employer’s problem’!
3️⃣ Show measurable results
Use bullet points that include numbers, percentages, or clear outcomes (e.g., “Increased process efficiency by 25%”).
4️⃣ Keep it clean and easy to read
Use clear headings, consistent fonts, and white space to create a professional, scan-friendly layout.
5️⃣ Focus on achievements, not duties
Employers want to see what you delivered, not just what you were responsible for.
6️⃣ Include a strong LinkedIn profile
Add your LinkedIn URL (ensuring your profile is up-to-date) to show a professional online presence.
