CV: what recruiters look first

When writing your CV/resume, be sure to highlight what is important, ie what recruiters look first.

Awaken curiosity by the form of the CV

Your resume should be remarkable to be read. To do this, it must:

* Be clear, and for that:

- bet on a simple and neat presentation.

- generally, it is advisable to divide your CV into 3 parts: professional experience, personal training and information. Try to highlight these three parts so that the recruiter easily finds the information he is looking for.

* Distinguish yourself from others, by a reflective, original layout or a special typography, but be careful not to overdo it!

Good to know: do not overload your resume. We do not want to read when there is too much and it is written very small!

To catch the eye of the recruiter in seconds, also consider putting a title to your resume composed of the targeted post.

Attention: wanting to attract the attention of the recruiter by a photo can have the opposite effect. While some recruiters appreciate it, others are afraid of being charged with discrimination. Knowing that only 3% of recruiters look at the photo first, it is up to you to see.

Include ad keywords in your CV

One of the other things the recruiter looks at immediately is if he finds the ad keywords in your resume. The keywords can be:

* Qualities (to be put in the personal skills);

* Missions (see if they overlap one of your previous experiences);

* Motivations (try to match your hobbies without lying).

If you think you have skills or passions that are of particular interest to him, feel free to put them in bold. So, the recruiter will see right away that your profile can match what he is looking for.

Present your professional experience

42% of recruiters look first at the professional experience of a candidate, so pay close attention to writing:

* If you have already worked, place this part first on your resume;

* If you are a recent graduate, wait a few more years: positioning your summer job at the top of the page may seem inadequate, unless it is related to the concerned sector.

For each position you have held, focus on the missions or skills that will serve you in the position you are targeting.

Example: if you are targeting a sales position, please note that your experience as a switchboard operator has given you a good sense of customer relationship rather than "I have mastery of making appointments".
