A winning CV has basically one purpose, not to land you the job at first contact, but to help you ascend to the next stage in the job process. Remember securing a job has about three to four stages. For experienced job seekers, a good CV offers 90% guarantee for an invitation to the job interview. So how do you make this happen?

The job recruiter is similar to a man who has needs and goes to the market to purchase the product that will satisfy those needs. Before he leaves home, there are certain qualities that will determine which product he should purchase amongst the products available. In the same vein, the recruiter’s needs should be the most important in the mind of the applicant when creating a winning CV.

Creating a winning CV is an art and therefore requires skill. Such skills include:

Creativity

This has to do with the ability to redesign and fine-tune your CV to meet the needs of the recruiter, notwithstanding the differences in job specifications. Creativity enables you make different CVs that will fit different jobs, since all jobs are not the same. The appearance and content should be unique. Recreate your career objective to meet the requirement of the new job.

Logic

You must follow the right pattern and sequence that is inviting and directional. The logical sequence should be shown. First things should be first.

Clear Mindedness

Be sure of what the recruiter needs. Think clearly to tailor your skills, strengths and experiences to match and meet those needs.

Self-Discovery

This involves deep thinking, discovering your very abilities and capacities to fulfill your recruiter expectations. Ask yourself, ‘What can I really offer?’

Organization

This shows how efficient you can arrange ideas on paper. Make your CV look organized and coherent on paper. When your thoughts are properly organized, your resume can be clearly read without ambiguity.

Effective Communication

A good CV communicates in simple terms the reasons for which an employer should absorb a job applicant. This can be proved in using right words, and no grammatical mistakes.
