How to write an attractive CV

CV on the table during a job interview

Creating an attractive CV can be a challenge for many candidates, but it is essential for landing an interview for the job you want. An attractive CV can make the difference between being called to an interview and being ignored.

Keep in mind that recruitment agencies receive hundreds of CVs every day, so you need to make sure your CV stands out and catches the employer’s attention.

In this digital age, most CVs are sent through online platforms or by email, so a clear, easy-to-read format is important. Your CV should be short and to the point, presenting the relevant information concisely. If you are applying for a job in a creative industry, you can be more original and add a few graphic elements, but this is not recommended for more formal jobs.

Tips and recommendations for creating a CV

Here are some tips and recommendations for creating a CV that catches employers’ attention:

Identify the relevant information: start by identifying the information relevant to the position you are applying for. This can include education, professional experience, skills and achievements.
Choose the right format: there are several CV formats, such as chronological, functional or combined. Choose one that presents the relevant information in a clear and attractive way.
Start with a well-defined objective: open your CV with an objective that reflects your professional goal. It can be short and to the point or more detailed, depending on your preference.
Use keywords relevant to the position you are applying for; they help catch the employer’s attention.
Use short sentences and avoid technical language or jargon. Use bulleted or numbered lists to present the information clearly and legibly.
Highlight your achievements: present them in tangible terms, such as figures or percentages, to show the impact you had in your previous positions.
Tailor your CV to each application, so that it reflects as closely as possible the skills and experience relevant to that position.
Check and revise: make sure your CV has no spelling or grammar mistakes, and reread it carefully before sending it.
Add an attractive visual look: use professional fonts and colours and, where appropriate, a suitable photo. The overall appearance should be neat.
Key takeaway

Follow these steps to create an attractive, effective CV that maximises your chances of getting the interview you want.
