Steps to a great CV
Keep it short Your CV should be two pages or under. Being terse and to-the-point shows that you value time and can think analytically on the job.
Format & spell-check Your CV does not have to be fancy, but a badly formatted CV with spelling errors is a strict No-No.
Do not over or underplay your experience Do not write about things you do not have hands on experience in and vice versa. Both can trip you up during your interview.
Keep it professional Do not use colors, fonts, words, etc. which are not professional. Even if your CV is made for a creative role keep the flamboyance restricted to your portfolio.
Keep it relevant Redo your career goals, job objectives, etc. for every job or skip it. Always skip a declaration at the end. If it is coming from your inbox its declaration enough.
