What’s something that makes your CV stand out?

Last week, we launched our ‘Your Money Matters’ series and we started off strong with top tips for new crypto investors. This week, we’re changing it up slightly and diving into the world of work.

Applying to jobs can feel like a full-time job in itself, so anything that can make the process easier is always going to be welcome. When you’re up against hundreds, and sometimes even thousands of other candidates, getting your CV to stand out from the crowd is a must.

We’ve put together some tips and advice from managers, business owners and job searching veterans about how to put together an eye-catching CV

It’s important to show dedication and passion outside of your job role. Merav Shor notes that if you’re passionate about pursuing a specific career path or exploring a particular industry you don’t need to limit your experience to your job role – there's plenty of ways to explore this outside of the workplace.
