Choose a professional cv design with discrete colours and make sure that the structure is clear and easy to read! Still, include essential information about you, your working experience, education, soft and hard skills as well as projects and accomplishments.
Be clear and concise!
It is a rule of thumb to keep your CV length at maximum 2 pages! Be specific, with precise information such as starting and ending date of employment, the name of company, your job title and main duties. Remember! Clarify your accomplishments and point out your contribution to the company you have been working for. Mention your education in similar way, skills, projects, and interests.
Be specific!
Note down figures and numbers to demonstrate your accomplishments and competencies! Set your major achievements, such as your Distinction of Honours GPA, or in numbers the increase of sales you may have achieved, or lower costs etc.

Note your contact information!
Write your contact info such as telephone, LinkedIn URL and email. While your full address is not necessary, still a general location is useful in informing employers about your basic location of residence.
