HOW TO MODERNIZE THAT CV
It may be a while since you last applied for a job and chances are your CV needs a refresh. With evolving recruitment trends and technology like ATS what worked years ago might not cut it anymore. Here how you can modernize your CV:
1. Remove that career objective and replace it with professional Summary
A professional summary is an impactful paragraph at the top of your resume that highlights your professional identity, core strengths, and achievements It summarizes your experience, skills and values you will bring to your potential employer.
On the other side career objectives focuses on what you strive to achieve throughout your career. Essentially this is not important to the potential employer, The employer is interest with what you will bring aboard.
2. Use keywords
ATS scan CVS for specific keywords from the job description, if your CV lacks this it could be filtered out before a human sees it, so the secret it tailors your cv according to the job description and sprinkle in Keywords drawn from the job description.
3. Maximize your skills and achievement section
Don’t just copy-paste skills. Customize this section so that it is aligned with what the employer is looking for.
4. Remove outdated education details
No need to list your primary school, it’s already implied that you have secondary education, or college education or that degree so we all know you didn’t skip primary education.
5. Remove irrelevant work experience
Your CV isn’t your life history so focus on the roles that support the job you are applying and which shows similar roles and desired achievements to that of the job you’re applying.
6. Remove these personal details
Gone are the days for listing your date of birth (which could lead to unfavorable bias based on your age or ageism), nationality, marital status, your photo, rows and columns which may be filtered out by ATS, graphics, avoid fancy fonts, hobbies and interests.
