⚡Snel Antwoord

Use reverse-chronological format. Lead with strong summary. Quantify achievements with numbers. Include job description keywords for ATS.

Use reverse-chronological format (most recent job first). Keep it to 1 page for <10 years experience, 2 pages max.

💡Gebruik clean fonts (Arial, Calibri), 10-12pt size, consistent margins.

Start with 2-3 sentences highlighting your experience level, key skills, and career goal. Customize for each job!

💡Replace objective statements with achievement-focused summaries.

Use action verbs and numbers: 'Increased sales by 35%' beats 'Responsible for sales'. Show impact, not duties.

💡Start bullets with verbs: Led, Created, Improved, Managed, Developed.

Include keywords from the job description. Use standard section headers (Experience, Education, Skills). No images or fancy formatting.

💡Many companies use Applicant Tracking Systems - simple formatting wins.

Nee, focus on relevant experience. Jobs older than 10-15 years can be summarized or omitted.

If the job posting asks for one, yes. A good cover letter can set you apart.

Nee, save space. 'References available upon request' is also unnecessary.
