Key takeaways
- Two pages, reverse-chronological, with measurable achievements.
- State your current location, visa status and notice period.
- Tailor the top third of the CV to each role you apply for.
Structure that works
Lead with a three-line professional summary, then experience in reverse-chronological order, then education, certifications, skills and languages. Keep formatting simple so applicant tracking systems can parse it.
- Name, city, email, phone and LinkedIn at the top.
- Achievements written as action plus result plus number.
- Languages spoken, which matters for client-facing roles.
What to leave out
You do not need to include your passport number, marital status or copies of personal documents on a CV. Share sensitive documents only after you are confident the employer and the offer are genuine.
