Think recruiters read every word of your CV? Think again. 👀
When recruiters review a CV, they need to quickly understand who you are, what experience you have and whether your skills match the role.
Here are some of the things recruiters look for:
✅ Relevant experience — Does your background match the role?
✅ Key skills & qualifications — Are the important skills easy to find?
✅ Clear career history — Can they quickly understand your experience?
✅ Achievements & responsibilities — What have you actually done?
✅ A clear, professional CV — Is the information easy to read and follow?
For Mechanical, Electrical, Engineering & Construction roles, making your relevant experience and technical skills easy to identify can be particularly important.
