  • Focus on key accomplishments and transferable skills
  • The CV should be skills-focused
  • Use examples and strategic and tactical decision-making
  • include professional memberships

You need to check that you have listed all relevant qualifications, compelling track record, try to position yourself as an employer to test out your CV, and include what you find is lacking to get you your next job.
