CV Support

Aspirare CV Support

CV Support is key as it gives employers a clear, structured snapshot of who you are as a professional.

In just a short document, they outline your skills, experience, qualifications, and achievements, helping hiring managers quickly decide whether you’re a good fit for a role.

A strong CV highlights your strengths, shows how you can add value, and sets you apart from other applicants. It also demonstrates professionalism, attention to detail, and your ability to communicate effectively.

Since many employers receive large volumes of applications, a well-crafted CV can be the key to securing an interview and progressing in the recruitment process.

Professional Summaries is important because it helps employers quickly understand your strengths, your experience, and why you’re a great fit before they even reach the rest of your CV.

What You SHOULD Do

  1. Include skills that match the job description

Always choose skills that are relevant to the role you’re applying for.
If the job mentions “fault finding,” “customer communication,” or “teamwork,” include those if they apply to you.

  1. Mix hard skills and soft skills

Hard skills = technical abilities (e.g., wiring, software, tools).
Soft skills = personal strengths (e.g., communication, teamwork).
A balance shows you’re both capable and professional.

  1. Be specific

Instead of vague skills like “electrical skills,” use: “Fault Finding”, “Financial Forecasting”

Specific skills give employers confidence in your abilities.

  1. Use bullet points for clarity

Bullets help recruiters skim quickly and focus on key strengths.

  1. Keep the list concise

Aim for 8–12 strong, relevant skills.
Too many skills can look unfocused or exaggerated.

  1. Place skills where they’re easy to find

Usually under a section titled “Skills” near the bottom or side.
Clear structure makes your CV more readable.

  1. Use job-related keywords (ATS-friendly)

Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) scan for terms like: Electrical installation, Risk assessment, 18th Edition knowledge & Technical documentation

Using the right keywords boosts your chances of passing automated screening.

What you should have within your experience:

  1. Job Title + Dates

Shows your level, role, and how long you worked there.

  1. Key Responsibilities

Describe the main tasks you carried out — relevant to the job you’re applying for.

  1. Achievements

Show what you accomplished, not just what you did. Highlight improvements, successes, or positive impact.

  1. Use Numbers

Include measurable results where possible (e.g., “completed 40+ installations,” “reduced downtime”).

  1. Skills Used

Show which skills you applied on the job (e.g., fault finding, testing, customer communication).

  1. Progression

Mention any growth — new responsibilities, leadership, or promotions.

  1. Clear Bullet Points

Keep it short, clean, and easy to read.

  1. Relevance

Focus on duties that match the job you want.

Include your education only if it supports the job you’re applying for.

Add:

  • Qualification name

  • School/College

  • Dates

  • Relevant units or achievements (optional)

Keep it brief and only include what’s useful for the role.

  • Shows verified skills – Certifications prove you have official training, not just experience.

  • Builds credibility – Employers trust qualifications from recognised organisations.

  • Makes you stand out – Additional courses or training show motivation and professionalism.

  • Matches job requirements – Many roles need specific certificates (e.g., 18th Edition, ECS Card).

  • Demonstrates up-to-date knowledge – Showing recent training proves you stay current with regulations and best practices.
