CV guides by job title

Engineering CVs are read by an ATS before any human sees them, then skimmed for 6–8 seconds by a hiring manager. This guide shows exactly what to put on a software engineer CV so it survives both.

Data analyst roles attract hundreds of applicants, so your CV has to prove you turn data into decisions — not just that you know the tools. Here's how to write one that ranks.

PM CVs live or die on outcomes. Hiring managers want to see what shipped, what moved, and how you decided — not a list of features you 'managed'. Here's the structure that works.

Nursing CVs are screened hard for licences, certifications, and specialty experience. Get those front and centre and you clear the first filter every time.

Care assistant CVs are screened for compassion, reliability, and the practical skills to support vulnerable people safely. Show your certifications and real care experience up front and you clear the first filter.

Pharmacist CVs are screened first for registration, then for clinical and dispensing competence. Put your registration and sector experience front and centre to get past screening.

Project manager CVs are scanned for methodologies, certifications, and on-time/on-budget delivery. Make those impossible to miss and quantify everything.

Marketing CVs need to show revenue and growth, not activity. Recruiters scan for channels, tools, and numbers — give them all three.

Sales CVs are judged on one thing first: did you hit quota? Lead with numbers and the rest of the page does its job.

Accounting CVs are screened for certifications, software, and the exact functions you've owned. Precision and accuracy on the page signal precision and accuracy in the role.

Customer service CVs are scanned for tools, metrics, and proof you de-escalate and retain customers. Numbers like CSAT and resolution rate do the heavy lifting.

A designer's CV has one job: get the portfolio opened. Keep it clean and ATS-readable, name your tools, and put the portfolio link where it can't be missed.

Chef CVs are scanned for the kitchens you've worked in, the cuisines you know, and proof you perform under pressure on service. Lead with that and the page does its job.

Front-of-house CVs are scanned for service experience, pace, and the soft skills that keep guests happy. Show the venues, the volume, and your upselling and you stand out.
