CV Writing demands a lot of though and planning each time you find yourself actively searching for a new post or in the job hunting market. You may have put together a great CV using many sample CV's help and formats available.
But it is worth understanding that CV Writing takes much more nowadays.
In the recruitment /HR industry, there is something that subconsciously goes through the mind of every recruiter or employer every time they have to go through a bulk of CV applications to find the best candidates to shortlist.
That subconscious Test is called the NFR Test - The "Necessitate Further Reading" Test more often than not CV’s can take hours to go through, and with so many other job duties to deliver and very little time, employers and recruiters find themselves spending 10-20 quick seconds scanning through a CV to find key skills and experience to suit a job criteria.
Each and every time when this happens unintentionally the NFR Test is applied.
To make sure your CV passes this dreaded NFR test in your job hunting efforts feel free to review and Implement the following 8 core Tips:
(1) Make sure Your CV is targeted and written for a specific vacancy in mind always.
(2) Try and ensure the layout of your CV is clear, extremely easy to read and very easy to follow.
(3) Use bullet points to enforce core strong relevant skills and experience and let them be up front and easy to find.
(4) Don't let your CV be clowned with gaps, unclear information missing dates, too many fonts, and the like.
(5) Under your career experience ---list your job titles separately on a line, followed by the bullet points of your individual responsibilities.
(6) List most Relevant information first. Let the first and Second Pages of your CV always be the strongest and most relevant.
(7) Consider how you word and display your past Job Titles - Are they similar and do they reflect, the Job Titles/functions you are now pursuing? the closer they are the stronger the chances for your CV.
