Here are a few tips to help you improve your chances of finding a job.
Above all, your CV must accurately reflect who you are and what skills you possess; it should contain no false information that could work against you. Some claim that tailoring a CV to a specific job posting is unnecessary, but this is a misconception, as every employer seeks a candidate who meets their specific requirements. Nowadays, artificial intelligence streamlines the recruitment process by using built-in filters to more quickly match candidates to specific roles.

Choose a simple, clear template that effectively showcases your achievements and professional experience. If your CV is too long, an employer is unlikely to spend much time reading it, given the volume of other applications they receive. It is also a good idea to save your CV in PDF format and name the file using your full name, as employers may require this.
Your professional experience must be listed in chronological order. You should also include a brief professional summary at the very top of the page and provide up-to-date contact details so the employer can reach you. Hard skills such as certifications and language proficiency will help give a better picture of your qualifications.
Align the keywords from job postings with your description, and check the text for spelling and grammar errors. And remember: remove progress bars, skill-rating stars, and tables, as modern ATS recruitment systems do not read them.
