Tailor your CV to the job posting—read the job description carefully and check what tasks will be expected of you. If you’ve done them before—put them on your CV, even if those weren’t your primary responsibilities.

Use action verbs: “created,” “analysed,” “implemented,” not “responsible for creating, analysis and implementation.”

Focus on your measurable, relevant achievements, not just your duties.
