  • I’ve seen so many CVs that just list duties, but the ones that really grab attention focus on impact. When I rewrote mine to highlight measurable results, the callbacks started coming in. Sometimes it’s not about what you did, but what you achieved.
  • What's one sentence on your CV that you think makes the biggest difference when a recruiter scans it?
