Have you looked at your CV lately? Without proper upkeep, a development CV may no longer catch a recruiter’s eye. Instead, it could get passed over before you even get a chance to explain why you’re the right person for the job.
Part of making your CV stand out is to top it with an effective summary section, said Kathryn Harper, an expert in professional development writing. “Your summary section is where you are provided a landscape to reprioritize and customize who you are beyond your chronology,” she said.
Devex recently hosted a digital event with Harper to help job seekers see where their CV may be holding them back and help bolster their chances of landing their next role in global development.
