The Killer CV

About this episode

Jac and Ral provide an 8-step formula for crafting an impactful CV that stands out to recruiters.

Is your CV putting recruiters to sleep? Has AI made your resume so polished and generic it’s practically invisible? In a follow-up to "The CV is Dead" episode, Jac and Ral deliver the 8-step formula to craft a future-focused, value-demonstrating document that increases your chance to land the interview. They go deep on how to build a killer resume by: • Ditching the boring, chronological job list for a compelling positioning statement. • Using the essential S-A-O-V structure (Situation, Action, Outcome, Value) for your high-impact statements. • Keeping it short - two pages! And learn why your human voice is now your greatest competitive edge. (Psst: Want the template for our Portfolio of Impact? Check out our Patreon)
