• Think carefully about your skills

  The skills section of your CV is a tricky one. When creating this section, make sure you are thinking about the skills every employer looks for, such as time management and communication. However, to stand-out, be sure that you list your unique skills for the role as well as use the employer’s description of the role to list the skills they are looking for.

• Pair it with a winning cover letter

  No CV is complete without a compelling cover letter. A cover letter is often the first thing an employer or recruiter will see. Therefore, it is extremely important that you craft a cover letter that not only grabs-and-holds their attention, but that also gives a brief and strong introduction of who you are and what you bring to the table. Writing a cover letter can be overwhelming, but do not worry, we got you covered. We have various cover letter templates and examples for you to use. Our cover letter builder will help ease some of the heavy lifting and help you get hired.
