Quick Tips 002: Personal Profiles

Did you know the average recruiter spends just seven seconds reading your CV? An engaging personal profile can encourage them to look a little deeper, so impress straight from the off by following these simple steps:

Include


Interesting details about you and your background
Unique and relevant qualities
Key words from the job description


Forget


Cliché expressions
Lengthy or overly complex sentences
Abilities not related to the role


Without a decent personal profile, your CV is simply a list of skills, jobs and qualifications. No context. No character. Just words on a page that could come from anyone. Don’t be anyone – be you.
