Write your CV correctly
A convincing CV shows at a glance why your experience and skills match the desired position. What is crucial is a clear structure, concrete statements and an error-free, easy-to-read layout.
The correct structure of the CV
Start with contact details and an optional short profile. This is followed by professional experience, training, knowledge and other relevant information. Within each category, the newest station is listed first.
Specify your professional experience specifically
Don't just name the position and employer. Describe tasks, responsibilities and results using active verbs. Numbers, magnitudes and measurable improvements make achievements credible.
Adapt your CV to the position
Use important technical terms from the job advertisement if they really fit your profile. Present relevant stations in more detail and shorten information unrelated to the position.
