Why Your UK CV Is Not Getting Responses (And How to Fix It)

The UK CV is not the same as a resume

If you have been sending a resume-style document, that is problem number one. UK CVs have specific conventions that differ significantly from American or Asian formats.

Length matters

Two pages maximum. UK recruiters typically spend 7 seconds scanning a CV before deciding whether to read further. Every line needs to earn its place.

The achievement formula

Replace job descriptions with achievements. Use this formula: Action + Metric + Result. "Managed social media" becomes "Grew LinkedIn followers by 340% in 6 months, driving 28k in inbound leads."
