CV and Cover Letter
It is important that both the CV and cover letter are clear, well-structured, and effectively highlight qualifications and experience relevant to the position being applied for.
CV
It is important that it is clear, not too long, and neatly formatted. A good rule is to have someone else review its final version.
Important points to consider:
- Tailoring the resume to the job: emphasize the experience and qualifications that directly relate to the position being applied for.
- Concise and clear: avoid unnecessary text and use clear headings and brief descriptions of projects and achievements. Aim for 1-2 pages in length.
- Pay attention to layout and review: a well-formatted CV with correct spelling and good overview increases the chances of it getting attention.
