What to write

What deserves attention first?

Starting your career?

Lead with relevant education, training and projects. Explain your contribution. Do not present an internship as employment or invent a past role.

Already have experience?

Lead with recent, relevant work and shorten older entries. Retain your real job titles rather than rewriting them to match the advert.

Explain your work, not generic qualities

Name your field, work setting, tools or core tasks. Include years of experience only when accurate and useful.

Receptionist organizing visitors, appointments and calls, updating booking records and coordinating requests with relevant departments.

Experience a reader can understand

Explain the task and your contribution. Include a result or number only when you can substantiate and explain it.

Instead of a generic description

Responsible for daily tasks and good at teamwork.

A more specific example

Welcomed visitors, confirmed appointments and directed them to the appropriate departments.

Skills backed by evidence, not a list to copy

These are possible examples, not requirements for every vacancy. Choose what you actually practiced and connect it to a task or project.

  • Visitor reception
  • Call handling
  • Booking administration

How do you show it?

Explain where you used the skill and what you produced. If you are still learning, state your level instead of claiming expertise.

Credentials and work links

Add a current certificate or licence if you hold it and it is relevant. Share a project or portfolio only when you may do so; never substitute an invented link.
