Write specifically what you know (Lookups, Pivots, Arrays). 

No employer values Basic knowledge, bring value to the table if you want a job. 

Market your skills instead of saying “Basic”

Donโ€™t write plain boring statements. CV is read by a stranger & the line should feel charming, interesting, & not like a NEWS headline.

Ready-made templates are a sign of laziness/lack of effort. Questions the ability of a person to be innovative & creative. 

Make a fresh Word or PPT file & make it from scratch.

Applying for a B-school/government job/MNC/startup job? 

Every institution has its own way of working. 

Customize your CV to those requirements.

๐‘๐ž๐ฆ๐ž๐ฆ๐›๐ž๐ซ:

A CV is a marketing document & not a legal document or contract. 

Every word you write should entice/seduce the person reading it.

A 6-point CV with 100 applications IS BETTER THAN a 9-point CV with just 10 applications.

So APPLY aggressively, like a hungry lion chasing deer.
