Recruiting in the Time of Covid – How to Write the Perfect CV



Use active language instead of passive language



When you are writing about your accomplishments, use active language as much as possible. Include action verbs such as increased, attained, and directed, over passive language. Take ownership of your responsibilities and achievements and include the individual actions you took, rather than focussing on team or company-wide achievements. Wherever possible, provide quantifiable evidence to make your point even clearer. You should aim to go above and beyond the job specification to convince hiring managers that you are the best candidate for the role.



At the same time, you should also take care to portray your experiences as positives rather than negatives. Avoid describing your previous roles in a negative way; employers want to know the pull factors not the push factors.



Check and check again



It doesn’t matter where you are in your career, you are still vulnerable to spelling and grammatical errors. Some statistics put the figure at 58% for the number of CVs that have typos. Get someone else to check your CV for grammatical errors that you may not notice or use a tool like Grammarly. Another trick is to try reading it from bottom to top. By reversing the order, you are more likely to be able to read each line in isolation and comb out any errors. This is really important for senior people who haven’t changed jobs for a long time and may be rewriting their CV completely.
