Step 5 of 9: Professional Summary
Your professional summary
3 to 5 sentences. Recruiters skim, so keep it short. Say who you are, what you're good at, and the job you want next. If you pasted a job advert, use the same words it uses (its keywords) where they're true for you.

Step 6 of 9: Work Experience
Your work history
List your most recent job first. Part time jobs, volunteering and work placements all count. For each one, say what you did and anything you changed or improved. If you've worked a long time, older jobs can be short.

Step 7 of 9: Key Achievements
Your standout achievements
Numbers make achievements real. Think about what the problem was, what you did, and what changed because of you. Aim for 3 to 5 of these, with a true number where you can, like time saved, money saved or people trained.
Your proudest numbers (optional)
Up to four numbers from your work, with a few words on what each one means. They show as big numbers on your CV. Leave them blank if you don't have any.
