The main CV writing principle is that in order to get noticed your CV has to stand out. Well, that’s easier said than done. Unless you’re a recruitment consultant you don’t actually get to see what the other resumes look like. It’s really hard to create something unique and memorable when you don’t know who you’re being compared to. Luckily it doesn’t have to be this way.
One option is to use a service like Razumé. It allows you to upload your CV online and get feedback from other users. Actually the best feature isn’t the fact that you can post your resume for others to review it. Instead you can view it as an excellent research tool. You’ll get a really good overview of the CVs you’re competing against.
There are currently over 5500 real CVs posted on Razumé. You can browse them by different categories (country, career field, salary range etc) and then sort by rating or number of reviews.
