How to write a winning CV: your ticket to dream job success

So, you've decided it's time to land that dream job. But first things first – you need a killer CV that will make recruiters sit up and take notice. Don't worry, we've got your back! Here are some tips on how to make yours end up in the right pile.

Speed, simplicity, and an excellent visual impression are crucial to everything we do today. These three characteristics can be applied to a multitude of things, including creating a CV, the one that slays.
We receive many resumes daily, so we are experienced in understanding the profiles behind them. Factual content in a suitable format is attractive, and what is most effective for us also helps you. Let's get started.

Before you even start typing, think about who will read your CV. Tailor your cover letter to the job you're applying for. Research the company, understand their values, and figure out what skills they're looking for. The more you know, the better you can position yourself as the perfect fit.

Say everything you want with as few words as possible

If you google "how long does the selection team read a CV," you will get a surprising answer - only six seconds! Yes, that's too short of a time to say everything you want about yourself. Of course, not everyone will agree because it depends on the company's size, the number of applications received, and the position itself, but most agree that a CV should have up to two pages.

We take time with each application. Our employees reflect the diversity that enriches us, and that's why we go through every CV received in detail. However, we still appreciate if we can quickly conclude whether we are a good match.

Embrace Simplicity as a Virtue

We all appreciate the ease and clarity of a well-organized resume, where every detail fits perfectly, and the experience shines through. Creating such a resume can impress potential employers right from the start. Ensure your information is arranged logically, clearly, and in reverse chronological order (most recent first).

Tailor your CV to each job application by adjusting your statement and emphasizing relevant skills. This personalized approach shows that you are directly addressing the employer, and it makes a positive impression.
Selection team values candidates with the right qualities and knowledge.

A well-structured CV sets you apart from the competition and demonstrates your strong organizational skills.

It has to be attractive!

With digital tools more accessible than ever, creating a great-looking CV is a breeze. Platforms like Canva and Europass offer free templates that help you craft professional and visually appealing documents. If you prefer to design your own, research and get inspired to maintain the structure employers expect.

A crucial tip: proofread your CV multiple times! While we all make spelling mistakes and typos, your CV—the first document introducing you to a potential employer—should be flawless. It is much easier for the HR team to go through well-known formats because they know where certain information is. If the document is pleasing to the eye, you will leave a positive impression.

Make sure that your CV contains the following information:

  • Personal data (name and surname, address, e-mail, phone number, LinkedIn profile) 
  • Personal statement (a sentence or two about yourself and why you think you are a good fit for the job, direction you want to develop in, and where you see yourself in the future) 
  • Work experience (bonus tip: if you are inexperienced, write a longer personal statement) 
  • Education
  • Skills (personal and IT)
  • The languages you use 
  • Interests

Now that you have all this tricks up your sleeve go out there and test your luck. Also, don't forget to check out our open positions - maybe we're a fit!

Good luck!
