Tips for applications

What do you need? A good CV is one that suits you! Be aware that the form is just as important as the content. Here are our tips, based on a CV outline that you should not follow.

• For better legibility, let your CV breathe! Avoid blocks of text or, the opposite, experiences with too few details!
• Avoid copy-pasting from the internet – what we are looking for is, on the one hand, originality and, on the other hand, that you stand by your experiences and show us what is special to you!
• Pay attention to spelling! Errors will always look bad to recruiters.
• Instead of centring your text, try the option “Justify”.
• Originality is good, but using a clear and uniform format is better. Along those same lines, avoid too many “flashy” colours!
• If you feel you must justify the holes in your CV, avoid personal details.
• Present your professional experiences in a chronological order (decreasing) to simplify legibility.
• Draw attention to your achievements as well as how you achieved them! It will make your profile seem more valuable!
• There should be a connection to the position that you are applying for in your profile!
• Erase the unnecessary! Are all your professional experiences really necessary?
• It is important that your interests show that you are open-minded. Small tip: Highlight interests that make you look good!
