Critique Your Own CV Through an Employer's Eyes
A recruiter gives your CV about thirty seconds before deciding to read on or bin it. This reads it through that lens: whether the opening summary lands value for the target role immediately, whether your achievements are quantified or left as vague claims, and where it loses attention. Good for anyone about to send a CV into a competitive market.
