Don’t just talk about what you’ve done – explain how what you’ve done has helped you develop the skills that are directly relevant to the role in question. This is particularly important if you’re trying to make a move outside your current field.
Look over the skills and abilities you’ve outlined on your CV. To make your application successful, it’s important that you stay up to date, identifying any areas where you might be lacking. When you read job postings, what have employers recently started asking for? Is there a gap in the market you might be able to fill?
As much time as you may have spent putting together your CV, don’t assume that it’s right for every role you might want to apply for. Think about the role you’re going after and how the information you’ve offered answers the big questions that are being asked. It might be that changing the focus to emphasise some projects more and others less makes you a better fit.
Make sure you proof-read your CV and your application form before you press send. Check what role and which company you are applying to. After all that hard work tailoring your application, don’t spoil it with typos!
