Tips for improving your CV
Seems like CV, or Curriculum Vitae, won’t go out of fashion. On the contrary—it is your business card. And like any business card, you have about 7 seconds to catch the attention of the reader—the recruiter or hiring manager.
And many people, through no fault of their own, seem to miss this point. They would include irrelevant information, or information that can bias the reader. They want to express their character, I understand that. But this misses the point.
In recent days, I tried to help some people online who asked for CV improvement tips. But I started to feel like I keep repeating myself. I already wrote a book, together with my wife, about the process of finding a job in tech, and Chapter 2 is dedicated to CVs. Here is the link: From Applicant to Employee - Your blueprint for landing a job in tech.
But I still want to help people build better CVs, so this is the reason I decided to summarize Chapter 2 from the book into its own blog post. Happy reading: Tips for improving your CV
