When I read the CV of an operations professional, I saw that all the previous jobs had similar bullet points: “manage staff,” “prepare reports”, and “coordinate operations.” He had advanced a lot in his career but each role on his CV seemed to be the same.
Frequently Asked Questions
How should work experience be written on a CV?
Work experience on a CV should include the name of the company, job title, dates of employment, duties and key accomplishments. Explain in more depth what you have done that shows you are qualified for the job you are applying for.
Should work experience be written in chronological order?
Most often, work experience is listed in reverse-chronological order, starting with the most recent job. This will enable the recruiters to know your current professional level and efficiently trace your career progression.
How many bullet points should each job have?
There are no set guidelines for the number of bullet points for every job. Provide space based on relevance, seniority and achievement, with more detail provided for more important, recent experience and summarising for older or less relevant experience.
How can I turn responsibilities into achievements?
Make responsibilities into accomplishments by describing what you improved, delivered, increased, reduced, completed or changed, and, if applicable, include accurate evidence. Avoid creating percentages or financial figures just to make a bullet point look more impressive.
How should promotions within one company be shown?
If a promotion is made within the same company, it should be arranged in a way that will clearly demonstrate progression between the positions. When listing job titles and dates, it's okay to show different job titles and dates to indicate greater responsibility, but do not repeat information about the same employer.
