This includes quantifiable achievements and results whenever possible. List educational background, including relevant degrees, certifications, and skills clearly.
Structure & Presentation: A clear and easy-to-read format is essential. This includes consistent fonts, headings, bullet points, and white space. Use relevant tables, short sentence lengths and data to quantify the impact created.
Proofread: Proofread multiple times, ensuring no silly errors which can create a negative impression. Poor grammar and improper formatting can put off admissions committees. Take advantage of tools like Grammarly to make sure that your CV is free of any grammatical errors, missing punctuation and is easy to read.
