…that’s what he doesn’t say.

90% of CVs I read communicate no value. And it’s not the candidate’s fault. In 26 years I have analyzed over 1,000,000 CVs. Almost everyone makes the same mistake: they describe tasks, not results and make the classic “shopping list”.

The problem is simple: the interviewer doesn’t want to know what you did.

They want to know what you can do today and what impact you can generate tomorrow. An effective CV must contain:
– measurable results
– context
– numbers
– specific skills
– keywords consistent with the role
– a credible narrative
– zero generic phrases (“problem solving”, “team player”… useless)

The selector has 10 seconds. A CV that does not communicate value within the first visual pass… is already discarded. Not to mention the ATS.
