Why a Professional CV is a ‘Must have’ and not a ‘Might have’!

Having a sub-standard CV is a disaster for your career prospects. Even a non-competitive role may have 50 applications, many of which will come with a strong CV and Cover Letter. Can you imagine a potential employer reading your mundane CV, void of keywords, core skills and successful formats? You are actually better off sending in a blank page.

A CV that includes a strong introduction, keywords, ATS power verbs and a professional tone introduces you as a standout candidate. You are now on an elevated level and your chances of getting the job have hugely increased.

    ANTI – SPAM: Please Answer the following Question

    Applicant Tracking Systems – How to Beat them?

    An Applicant Tracking System (ATS) friendly Resume or CV, is an ATS-optimized CV that is written, formatted and designed to be read and parsed by an ATS software program (Which there are many). Irish employers(Mostly multinationals and big Tech Companies do use them)

    1. ATS is a type of software used by employers and recruiters to manage job applications and screen candidates for open positions. It also weeds out what it judges to be badly written CVs. An ATS-optimized CV is formatted in a way that is easy for an ATS to read, analyse and understand. This means using a clear, simple, clean layout, (I usually use Boxes on Page 1), and using standard fonts and avoiding images, graphs or tables that may not be compatible with the ATS. Like all things in life, simplicity is key.
    2. To create an ATS-optimized CV, it is important to use a tabled design, relevant keywords and phrases in the job description, as well as to include specific, quantifiable achievements and results that is connected to the specific role you are targeting. This helps the ATS to identify your skills and experience and match them to the requirements of the job. Whilst an ATS-optimized CV is designed to improve your chances of passing the initial screening process, it should still be readable and engaging to a human reader – and of course you should come across as a perfect fit for the role.
