What does it take to get hired in the Middle East today? Or before even getting there, what does it take to grab the employer’s attention for a few seconds and have them remain interested to call you for an interview? The short answer is: your CV. Surprise? I’m sure that’s not the case.
Without doubt, your CV is your currency for landing a job. But with the increasingly tough competition for jobs in our region, the time spent reviewing CVs is less and less. This means it is more critical to make flawless, concise, and attention-grabbing CVs for today’s job market.
On average, employers and recruiters look at a CV for 30 seconds or less. This is called CV scanning. To be efficient in the hiring process and in face of hundreds of applications, employers will try to quickly capture the most important elements of a CV before they decide to review the applicant in depth and call them for an interview.
So, how do you make sure your CV is ready for the 30 seconds scan? Will it pass this very quick step?
