Soon you will notice that it works!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>#TIP 2: Take some time to think about what type of COMPANY you would like to work on and make a list of companies that motivate you.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With what values \u200b\u200bdo you identify yourself? What business culture fits with your values?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is important that you have this clear in order to be able to make a list of companies in which you would like to work and that are aligned with your personal values \u200b\u200band culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this way, when sending CVs, you will not be wasting time sending CVs or applying to companies that don\u2019t fit your essence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can take a look at&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.glassdoor.es\/index.htm?countryRedirect=true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Glassdoor<\/a>&nbsp;or Indeed; the Tripadvisor of the employment or visit Welcome To The Jungle, where you can discover the insides of many companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>#TIP 3: Write an appealing EXTRACT that defines yourself.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do not underestimate the importance of including in your CV an extract that does not spread more than one paragraph and that represents you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You should summarize in a few words your professional experience and skills, your interests and your professional objective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Try to communicate clearly and briefly to capture the attention of the recruiters. You must realize that they receive lots of CV\u2019s on a daily basis and your resume must impact in some way to capture at a first glance their attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>#TIP 4: Communicate your main ACHIEVEMENTS in the &#8220;Professional Experience&#8221; section.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When writing your professional experience, try that your CV does not end up looking like a list of functions similar to a job description.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I advise you to include only a few functions that represent your experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, it is important that you add your main achievements for each of the functions, this is what will really give meaning to your experience and add value to the recruiter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>#TIP 5: Don&#8217;t forget to include your SKILLS.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the Digital age; and now even more with the rise of remote work; soft skills acquire special attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Technical skills and specialization are very important for companies; but even more important today is the soft skills that professionals must demonstrate in order to adapt to the current needs of the companies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Due to the uncertain times that we are&nbsp;living in&nbsp;as a result of COVID-19&nbsp;means that many of us find ourselves actively seeking employment or simply as a result of having more time to meditate, realising that where you are in this moment is not where you&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":1006,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"content-type":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[73,21],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1004","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cv-tips-2","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
