General tips and tricks

Keep in mind that you only have 10-15 seconds to catch the recruiter's attention. Therefore, you want to make it easy for the recruiter reading your CV to get an
overview of your skills and experience. The best way is to keep your CV neat and structured.

Start by stating your most recent work experience and continue in chronological order.

Include as much information about your tasks, responsibilities, and accomplishments as you see fitting. However, only include information relevant for the job you’re
applying for. That means you should adjust your CV for each job you apply for to increase your chances of landing the job.
