Before your resume reaches the recruiter, it is first scanned by a software called ATS. This software works on the basis of keywords fed onto it. Now, where to find those keywords? Simple, in the job description. Always read and understand the job description in detail before you create your resume, then find the relevant keywords and use them in your resume. Make sure to write the key skills and highlights on the top of your resume, because once the resume is cleared by the ATS it will be read the recruiter. And recruiter will hardly take 6-7 seconds to decide whether to shortlist the resume or not. So, it is wise to mention the important keywords at the top.

Using the right keywords, language, and terminology makes it easier for the reader (recruiter/hiring manager) to understand your qualifications. When you use the keywords and language that align with the company, you become a more desirable candidate. Here is where you should be including these keywords: - Job Titles Look at the different variations of your job title. Ensure that the job title on your CV aligns with the terminology of the company you are applying to. - Skills It's important to brainstorm the language you use to describe both your hard and soft skills, ensuring it speaks the company's language. - Experience Make sure to explicitly state in your summary that you have this experience.

As a general guide, try to stick to 2 pages, the majority of the font size shouldn’t be smaller than a 10 (font dependent), avoid putting in a photo, and choose formatting that works best for you. Every person, role, industry, country etc. is different and this is simply a template for content, not style. Be sure to check for spelling, grammar and consistency. Grammarly is great for this! Avoid using Canva to create CVs, remember content is more important than how pretty it looks.

¿Canva o Word? Más que entrar en la discusión si utilizar Canva o Word (o alguna otra herramienta como LaTeX), te sugiero que uses un formato que sea fácil de modificar para ti. -El documento tiene que ser de máximo 2 hojas. -Que sea fácil de leer con viñetas y espacios de descanso para el lector. -Enfocado en logros y con DÍGITOS que demuestren el alcance de tus iniciativas. ¿Qué formato usas normalmente?
