6 Essential Elements of a Strong CV Infographic

A strong CV is your gateway to interviews and job offers. Get it right and you will have recruiters and employers desperate to meet you – but get it wrong, and your job hunt will suffer. To create an interview-winning CV you must have these 6 essential elements, as provided by this infographic from StandOut CV:

1. A powerful introductory profile which catches recruiters’ attention and provides a persuasive overview of your skillset.
2. A bullet pointed core skills list which provides readers with a snapshot of your talents from a single glance.
3. A detailed career history with well-structured roles utilising plenty of bullet points to create a pleasant reading experience. Including quantifiable achievements will show employers the impact you have made at previous workplaces.
4. Your education should be listed fully with grades and dates for all of your relevant qualifications.
5. Interests and hobbies are entirely optional and should only be included if they are relevant to roles you are applying for.
6. Simple formatting with plain black text on a white background, and a clean crisp font will provide a professional and easy-to-read look.
