How to Write a CV That Catches a Recruiter's Eye

Your CV is the first impression you make on a recruiter. A good CV is not the longest one, but the one that is most relevant and easiest to read.

Recommended CV Structure

• Personal details: name, active phone number, professional email address, city of residence, and LinkedIn/portfolio links.
• Profile summary: 2–3 sentences about your skills and career goals.
• Work experience: list it from most recent, and describe your achievements with numbers.
• Education: level, institution, major, and graduation year.
• Skills: hard skills and soft skills relevant to the position.

Tips to Make Your CV Stand Out

• Use action verbs such as increased, managed, designed.
• Show measurable results, for example "increased sales by 25% in 6 months".
• Tailor your CV to the description of the vacancy you are applying for.
• Save it as a PDF so the layout stays the same.
• Keep it to 1–2 pages and use an easy-to-read font.

Once your CV is ready, upload it to your itoJob profile so you can apply with a single click.
