Tailor your CV every time you send it out

Look at this job advert. Before moving on make an actual or mental list of the skills you should highlight in your CV. Now go to page 2 of the document. Get them all?

Somewhere in your CV you should have at least one bullet point dedicated to each of these points. These bullets could be found in the employment or education sections, or in your personal summary, under your name at the top of the front page.

Each time you send out your CV you should tailor it as much as possible to reflect the ethos of the company and the language used in the advert.
