My CV Resume Critique Part 3/4
 

Your Employment History

We recommend limiting your work history to the past 10 to 15 years, as most employers are concerned with your most current, relevant work experience. Not sure where to draw the line? Our writers can help you decide what to cut and what to include in order to craft a solid CV that accurately speaks to your experience and potential as a candidate .

Hiring Manager

It may not seem obvious, but a regular review of every word and sentence in your CV is a good idea. Hiring managers are looking for an excuse to eliminate you as a candidate. You may not be able to see awkward phrases and grammatical errors if you've already spent a lot of time with your own CV.

Digital Readiness

Your CV is 507 KB in size. About 98% of CVs are smaller than yours, so you might want to trim down pieces that make the file bigger. Sometimes, this is as simple as standardising fonts or formatting.

CV Format

Your CV is saved in PDF format. 19% of CVs look like yours. While this may make viewing consistent for recruiters, some older applicant tracking systems (ATS) have problems reading them. If you have the ability, you might consider saving your document in Microsoft Word format for some online submissions.
