Key Insights

💡 Tailor your CV for every application

Avoid sending the same CV everywhere. Highlight the experience, skills, and achievements that are most relevant to each role so recruiters can immediately see why you’re a strong fit.

💡 Use measurable achievements to prove your impact

Don’t stop at listing responsibilities. Include numbers, percentages, revenue growth, traffic improvements, or other measurable outcomes that demonstrate the value you’ve created.

💡 Think beyond the CV

A strong CV is only part of the job search. Reach out directly to hiring managers on LinkedIn, tailor your outreach, and proactively introduce yourself instead of relying solely on job boards.

💡 Position yourself for the roles you want

Recruiters shouldn’t have to guess your career direction. Whether you’re pursuing SEO, product marketing, content, or another specialty, make your positioning clear and align your CV with the opportunities you’re targeting.
