Recruiters may only give your CV 30 seconds attention before deciding whether to interview you or not. Not fair is it? Relevant content and presentation are king but here's a few ways to grab attention and stand out from the crowd.
1. Add Sound. If you have a microphone on your computer you can record a short piece of audio giving the recruiter more information about you. Think of something unique about yourself that will help you stand out. Here's how to do it.
2. Add Logos for the companies you worked at. Showing the company logo is a great way to stand out in a pile.
3. Add quotes/testimonials. Get your previous bosses to send you a short quote about your past work ethic or experience. Why wait for the employer to ask about references when you can be proactive about it?
4. Enable hyperlinks. In MS Word you can enable hyperlinks for any word or phrase, so enable hyper linking for your email address and any other web related items on your CV.
