Resume/CV Writing Skill

Philosophy

The real goal of a CV isn't to get you the job - it's to get you the conversation.

Your CV has one job: convince a busy hiring manager in 6-10 seconds that you're worth a 30-minute call. Every word must earn its place.

Core Principles

1. Impact Over Responsibilities

Never describe what the job was supposed to be. Show what you actually achieved.

• Bad: "Responsible for managing database systems"
• Good: "Reduced query latency by 73% through index optimization, saving $40K/month in infrastructure costs"

2. Metrics Over Vague Claims

Quantify everything possible. Numbers are proof.
