Your CV gets about six seconds. Not six minutes. So here are five things I'd delete from yours right now.
☝️The professional summary. "Results-driven professional with a passion for excellence" is on ten million CVs. It says nothing and it costs you your most valuable line.
✌️ Every sentence starting "responsible for." Everyone who held that job was responsible for that. Nobody's hiring your job description.
🤟The stuff from twelve years ago. If it doesn't support the job you want next, it's just noise.
✌️✌️Vague achievements. "Improved processes" — improved how much? By when? A stranger should be able to repeat your best line back to you.
🖐The skills bar charts. Nobody believes you're 87% at Excel. Replace all of it with what actually changed because you were there. That's the whole trick.
None of it is a lie. It's just invisible.
Here's the shift I wantyoutomake: stop describing the job you held. Describe what changed because you were in it. The number, the deadline saved, the problem that stopped happening 🔊
The best candidate doesn't get the job. The clearest one does. I put the full version in a free guide — link in bio.
Which of the five is on yours right now? Be honest ?
