Een creative resume: get rid of that boring typeface!

Homemade rap videos, colorful infographics and collages, online and offline. How do you make a good resume?   Think carefully about the purpose for which you want to use the CV. Is a creative resume appropriate for the industry you will be working in? Does the layout of your curriculum vitea apply to the position you are applying for? If you apply for a job in a formal work environment such as a bank or notary office, there is a good chance that formality and structure will be expected of you.

Your personal pitch

Many job seekers mainly focus on their work experience and education. But a recruiter does not make out who you really are on that basis. Write in a few lines of text who you are, what you find important and what your talents are. Do you want to literally show yourself? Falling straight into the house? Put your elevator pitch on video using your phone and open your resume with it.

Name your skills

Are you good at organizing and planning? Are you an expert at programs such as Photoshop? Do you speak several languages fluently? Add a separate cube with skills. This way your potential employer can see at a glance which skills you possess.

CV including referrals  

Do you have a portfolio with examples from previous clients? For example, for published articles or studies, add the link to your resume. You make it easier for a recruiter to enter your stage. This also applies to your social media. Recruiters simply love an online search for your person. Then make it easy for them right away, they really appreciate that.

Show your references

In fact, recruiters are mainly curious about the stories of your current or former colleagues. LinkedIn of course offers the possibility to view recommendations from previous clients. But as we mentioned before, make it as easy as possible for the recruiter and add any recommendations directly to your resume. For example, you might be able to give the recruiter that one push to invite you for a job interview.

CV OK?

Check, check and check again! Show your resume to acquaintances and ask them if they recognize you in this   if they see your personality   clearly reflected in your resume. No spelling mistakes or wrong years? Does it suit the position for which you are applying ? Is the format of your resume in order?
