🚨 CV Tip 🚨 7 You’re hired for your current skills, not your past “glory” or what you were doing “back in the day” during prehistoric times! A resume with outdated information is less clear and less appealing. Just like a good book, your resume should capture the reader’s interest and make them want to know more!

Another CV tip coming in hot! 🔥🚀 *SPELL CHECK* Most people would think that this is a given - but you'd be surprised! A great tip is to not only use the inbuilt spellchecker on the programme you're using to write and edit your CV but to also read it through MULTIPLE TIMES! Go away and come back to it, have someone else read it for you with fresh eyes, and try not to rush through it. Don't forget to also spellcheck the file name you gave it too! If you're also listing a skill on your CV as "strong attention to detail" but are submitting a CV with spelling errors - you're not really living up to your claim are you? (I read this post about 5 times before posting it to check for spelling errors too! No one likes a hypocrite 🤣) Cox Purtell Staffing Services #CVTips #RecruiterTips #SydneyRecruiter #LifeatCP

Including “References upon request” on your resume is a practice that has become outdated. Here’s why you don’t need it: - Space Optimization: Your resume is valuable real estate. Use it to highlight your skills, accomplishments, and experience instead of outdated phrases. - Standard Practice: Employers assume you will provide references if asked. Including this phrase is redundant and unnecessary. - Professionalism: Modern resumes are clean and concise. Omitting unnecessary sections reflects a polished, up-to-date professional approach. Focus on showcasing your qualifications and let your references speak for themselves when the time comes!

Bullet Points or Paragraphs on a CV ? ----------------------------------------- There is nothing worse than seeing a CV with long boring paragraphs and I'm sure most readers would admit to it being a huge turn off. Use 2 line bullet points to capture the reader's attention - anything less doesn't say anything - and anything longer has no impact. If you are going to include figures always put them in at the start of a bullet point and not at the end.

If these 3 phrases are on your resume, you're wasting real estate and the reader's time: 1) "references available upon request" 2) "objective" 3) "responsible for" <<<<>>>> More tips in comment below!
