Tips to ensure a CV stands out from the rest

Job hunters have been encouraged to set out a resume in a way which will have potential employers thinking "here is someone who knows his way around. He knows what we need and he's prepared to give it to us".

This is the opinion of David Jensen, the founder of CareerTrax and managing director of Kincannon & Reed Global Executive Search, who underlined that attention to detail and good judgement are both vital for enabling a CV to shine.

In order to produce a standout document, Mr Jensen believes that the look of a resume is very important. As such, place contact details in a plain, readable font at the top of the first page and then follow this up with a summary statement.

This synopsis should outline in a couple of simple sentences why a job candidate feels that they are suitable for the role they are applying for.

Examples of work experience or education that are directly linked to the open position should also be a main focus of the CV, as these are the aspects that potential employers will be looking for.
