What so crucial about having a good CV
A good CV is crucial for several reasons
- First Impression – Industry research states that on average recruiters spend 6-8 seconds looking at your CV before they decide whether you are suitable for their vacancy or not. It is therefore essential that your CV provides a good first impression and provides a snapshot of your skills and experience in relation to the vacancy.
- Requirement of Application – most employers require a CV as part of their application process – it gives them a snapshot of your capabilities in relation to the vacancy they are recruiting for.
- Showcase your Skills & Experience – it allows you to highlight your skills, experience and educational achievements. Tailor your CV for each vacancy so your necessary skills and experience in relation to that role stand out.
- Professionalism – reflects professionalism and attention to detail, qualities valued by employers.
- Supports Interviews – serves as a reference during interviews, providing a foundation for discussion
- Personal Branding – contributes to your personal brand, shaping how others perceive your professional identity.
