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.
Aspirare Recruitment will help with CV Support From First Draft to Final, Job-Winning CV.
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.
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.
Instead of vague skills like “electrical skills,” use: “Fault Finding”, “Financial Forecasting”
Specific skills give employers confidence in your abilities.
Bullets help recruiters skim quickly and focus on key strengths.
Aim for 8–12 strong, relevant skills.
Too many skills can look unfocused or exaggerated.
Usually under a section titled “Skills” near the bottom or side.
Clear structure makes your CV more readable.
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.
