Introduction
The first impression for any employer is your CV or your LinkedIn profile. If it is not clear, convincing, and well-organised, there is a good chance you will simply be overlooked.
📌 It is important to know that the CV and LinkedIn have complementary roles:
CV: An official document that presents your qualifications and experiences in a concise and direct manner.
LinkedIn: A platform for building a personal brand, connecting with professionals, and showcasing your personality and experiences in a broader way.
Key points to focus on:
1. Don't settle for a dry list.
"I led a small team during my part-time job."
"I provided high-level customer service in a busy environment."
2. Don't settle for a dry list.
Link the skill to a work context or a small story.
3. Make use of your non-academic activities.
Did you volunteer? Were you a member of a university club? Even sports or hobbies like blogging or coding make a difference.
4. Tailor your CV and cover letter for each job.
Read the job description carefully, extract the keywords, and incorporate them naturally into your CV and LinkedIn.
5. Pay attention to format and details.
A well-organised CV, free of errors, demonstrates professionalism.
On LinkedIn, fill out the 'About' section in a human way that highlights your value and field.
🎯 Example:
"An arts graduate with experience in managing cultural events, I possess skills in marketing and volunteer coordination. My passion is creating experiences that connect people with ideas."
In summary:
CV = A brief identification card.
LinkedIn = Your expanded professional story.
Use both together as tools to build initial trust and convince employers that you are the right person.
