"We are not saying that a different CV is created for each search, but it is important
to have more than one
depending on the type of application, placing more emphasis on some things than others as appropriate," says
Andrés Kloster
, CEO and Co-founder of the Agency. Eleven, experts in SEO positioning and organizers of the #SEOcamp.
And he added that: “Something fundamental to consider is that if the requirements of a search are not fully met, it is possible
to apply the same
.
The job description is an ideal, generally you don't get a profile that meets 100%, and sometimes a big 70% makes up for the missing 30%."

What are the 9 infallible tips to make the CV attractive
1. Length:
it is recommended that the CV be one page, maximum two in specific exceptions, no more.
In a search there are hundreds of applicants and therefore
there is no time
to read so much text, the information must be
fair, clear and concise.
2. Design:
although this may not apply in all cases, looking for a common, minimalist template without strange fonts makes it easier to read and makes the text much more understandable.
3. Photo:
although the ideal is
not to include it
, there are still companies that are still waiting for the CVs to have it.
In case of incorporating it, it is recommended that it not be a passport photo, cropped, with a dark background and pixelated.
On the contrary, it is vital to look at the camera and convey
calm and normality
, that the photo reflect how you would present yourself at the interview.
4. Contact information: only
telephone, LinkedIn and mail
should be included
.
Do not add marital status, exact address (neighborhood/town, if desired), date of birth, or ID.
There's no need.
5. Introduction or professional profile:
you can add a short text with technical training, training, what are the aspirations and skills.
It is important to be consistent with the position to which you are applying, that is, if you are applying to an SME, do not say: "I am looking to join a company of great renown and international trajectory".
In this case, it should be considered to have more than one CV.
In the instance of the job interview, you can elaborate a little more about work experiences.

6. Skills:
do not use graphs, stars or progress bars, on the contrary there must be a list of skills that have to do with the position to which it is applied, both technical and soft.
And don't fall into obviousness like handling Windows or Zoom because it doesn't add up.
7. Work experience:
in this regard, the list should be from the most recent to the oldest.
You must include position, company, start month and end month (or "currently" if applicable).
The
summary of each position
is crucial, the responsibilities of the position, functions, results and people in charge must be explained in detail.
If a job has nothing to do with the position for which you are applying, you can twist the description so that it demonstrates some skill that can be valued by the recruiter.
It is not an obligation to include all employment history in the CV: if you have many jobs, and several have nothing to do with the position to which you are applying, you can choose not to include them.
In case of going to the interview instance, this information can be commented there.
8. Show the work:
Some vacancies lend themselves more than others to the presentation of examples.
If you work in the design industry, for example, or in journalism, attach a
portfolio to your CV with some samples of your talent
.
You can also include the link on Linkedin: it can add much more value to your profile.
9. Education:
you also have to list from the most recent to the oldest, in case you have a high university average you can place it.
It is not an obligation to add the secondary and it is not necessary to place the primary or garden.
It is vital to add
scholarships, awards, Olympics
and relevant participations.
Regarding the courses, mention only those that have to do with the position and that add value.
The CV cannot have
any spelling errors
and must be in
pdf format
identified with first and last name.
In the same way, the
LinkedIn profile
must be updated, with the same information, and must demonstrate interaction, interest and knowledge in the search area.
"It is important to remember that the resume is the
letter of introduction
of a successful profile, its clarity and transparency accompanied by a correct optimization will be key to getting the interview and a possible ideal job", they concluded from the Eleven Agency.
