Writing a CV is no easy task. It is necessary to take into account who is on the other side, namely the aspects that recruiters look for in a CV.<\/p>

Recruiters and human resources managers take into account different aspects and points that they seek to evaluate in the CV<\/strong> of a candidate.<\/p>

However, even if they do not value the same aspects equally, there are certain elements that all resumes must have<\/strong>, regardless of the type of job you are applying for.<\/p>

It is through careful presentation and insertion of relevant information in the CV<\/strong> that recruiters analyze whether or not to call for a job interview.<\/p>

And this analysis is done in a matter of seconds. This is because there is time pressure to select from dozens, sometimes hundreds, of applications received.<\/p>

Therefore, it has little time to capture employers\u2019 attention<\/strong>. And there's only one way to do it: by exposing the information on your resume that recruiters are looking for.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

7 aspects that recruiters look for in a CV<\/h4>


This information cannot be missing from your CV if you intend to get the position:<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

1. Location and contact details<\/h5>


Recruiters want to know your location to vacancies that are in person<\/strong> and who need you to go to the office.<\/p>

They look for this information in the header section of the resume.<\/p>

It is recommended that you only enter the city, telephone number and email, but not the full address.<\/p>

However, if you want to change your residential area<\/strong> and you are looking for vacancies for this new location, you must enter this intention in the address field.<\/p>

Otherwise, if you are a local candidate, make it clear to the company from the beginning, showing that you live in the same city.<\/p>

Normally, CVs of local candidates are favored<\/strong>.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

2. Recent professional experience<\/h5>


Then, recruiters analyze professional experience. They try to understand whether the functions performed in previous positions may be useful<\/strong> for the vacancy they want to fill.<\/p>

They prioritize the three most recent jobs, but do not forget to take into account other professional experience.<\/p>

At this stage, the aspects that recruiters look for are mainly related to your skills and experience that may be relevant to the vacancy in question.<\/p>

If you are just starting out in the job market and don't have much professional experience<\/strong>, can emphasize other fields, such as education, internships, volunteering<\/strong> and any other experience that shows that you will be of added value to the company.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

3. Career progression<\/h5>


Another aspect that recruiters look for in a CV is your career history and progression from one vacancy\/company to another.<\/p>

How long did you work for a particular company? Has there been growth or any advancement in your career? How often did you change jobs?<\/strong> These are some of the questions you want answered in your CV.<\/p>

Therefore, don\u2019t forget to include promotions and career advancements on your CV.<\/p>

If you have been promoted within the organization you work for, identify the different positions and functions you have held.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

4. Education<\/h5>


The next section to be analyzed will be education, in the case of a a certain level of education is required for the job in question<\/strong>.<\/p>

However, the recruiter will only take a quick look to confirm that you have the required qualifications, and then return to the rest of the CV.<\/p>

For this reason, there is no problem in lowering the level of qualifications in relation to what you actually have.<\/p>

If you have recently obtained your degree or other type of training, then yes, it is worth focusing more on the education part.<\/p>


5. Achievements and skills<\/h5>


Be sure to include any notable accomplishments or achievements<\/strong> that you have obtained in previous positions and companies.<\/p>

This may include training certificates<\/strong> Or until prizes<\/strong>. Recruiters and hiring managers value potential candidates who have achieved great results in their previous job, which will give you a big advantage compared to other candidates.<\/p>

If you are applying for a job that has specific requirements<\/strong>For example, a job where you would be responsible for setting up and monitoring ad campaigns on Google, the recruiter will likely search the skills section<\/strong> those that are relevant to digital marketing.<\/p>

A good idea would be include relevant keywords<\/strong> with these skills, since most recruiters limit themselves to using commands to search for these keywords.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

6. Spelling and grammar errors<\/h5>


No matter what your qualifications or the position you are applying for, it is very important that your CV does not contain spelling or grammar errors.<\/p>

Because otherwise it shows that you weren't careful enough or diligent enough to avoid those mistakes, and that gives a bad impression<\/strong>.<\/p>

Review your CV as many times as necessary and, if possible, ask a friend for help to make sure you don't miss any mistakes.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

7. CV Format<\/h5>


The final details and aspects that recruiters look for in a CV are a good formatting, organization and spacing<\/strong>.<\/p>

Make your resume easy to read. Don't write big, voluminous paragraphs<\/strong>. Instead, use short sentences mixed with bullet points, clear titles\/headings for each section.<\/p>

Resume formatting is important because recruiters take an initial look and don't read it word for word right away.<\/p>

CVs with good spacing and lots of bullets and numbers\/data<\/strong> They also help recruiters quickly get the information they need, so they can decide if they want to read on.<\/p>

If the resume seems difficult to read or understand, the reader may become impatient and move on to another candidate.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Did you know that personal contact can make a difference when looking for a job?<\/h4>


In today's competitive job market, personal contact is essential to stand out. Face-to-face contact allows for more natural and effective communication, and a positive impression on the recruiter.<\/p>
