Competition is fierce, and expectations are high. Whether you’re refining your resume or tackling tough interview questions, the pressure is real—your career is on the line.

Plus, test your skills with a mock interview from a finance recruiter.

Transform Your CV with My Tips

Here are 5 of my top 10 tips for creating a CV that will highly increase the chances of landing your dream job:

#10. Add a Title​
​
Start your CV with a title that aligns with the job you're targeting. This immediately tells the hiring manager that you are a relevant candidate.
​
​#9. Highlight Relevant Skills​
​
Ensure that your CV prominently displays the skills relevant to the job.
​
Your budgeting, forecasting, and variance analysis skills should be in the spotlight for an FP&A role. However, don't list them as skills without explanation; rather, say how you demonstrated these skills.
​
For example: "streamlined the budget process by reducing the number of iterations from 5 versions to 3 versions" or "performed an analysis on profitability which highlighted the need to increase the price of product X by 5% to maximize the profitability."
​
​#8. Quantify Achievements​
​
Show your impact through numbers. Rather than saying "reduced month-end close time," say "reduced month-end close by 2 days".
​

#7. Use Action Verbs​
​
Begin bullet points with action verbs like "managed," "developed," or "implemented." This shows you're proactive and saves space.
​
​#6. Tailor Your CV​
​
No two jobs are the same, and neither should be your CVs. Tailor your CV to match the job description and requirements.
