Make sure your digital technical CV gets you noticed

Writing a technical CV is very different from your average CV. It’s got to be simple, concise and clear. So here are some tips from Borz Farahani, Major Players Recruiter for Digital Technical Jobs.

Not got time for a video? Check out the main points below…

Get  Highlight your skills
“Make sure you keep this nice and clear and detail all of your technical skills not forgetting to state your level – whether its, intermediate or advanced etc.

No dead links
“Make sure that you include links to examples of your work, but more importantly check that they all work as dead links will not go down well. You also need to ensure that they are compatible with all browsers such as Firefox or Explorer.”

For freelance
“Don’t just list everywhere you’ve worked and state that you are freelancer, separate the information by agency or client giving a short summary of the skills needed to fulfil the brief.”

For permanent
“For each company you’ve worked at give a summary of your time there showing the skills used, and your progression to your current state.”

Keep it brief
“It should be no more than 3 pages, the majority of employers will only read the first page anyway. Page one should list your skills and experience, pages 2-3 should be descriptions and links.”
