CV Strategy — Your CV Is Not a Biography — It’s a Value Proposition
Your CV isn’t your life story — it’s your highlight reel. Yet many professionals treat it as an archive of everything they’ve done instead of a showcase of what they offer next.
At Career Velocity, we teach clients to craft CVs that tell a story of value, not volume.
Common Mistake
Too often, CVs read like job descriptions — full of responsibilities but light on results. Hiring managers don’t just want to know what you did; they want to see the impact you made.
Career Velocity Tip: Focus less on what you managed and more on what you moved.
The Modern CV Formula
Headline: A clear statement of your expertise and career focus
Impact Stories: Use bullet points that start with action + outcome
Keywords: Mirror the language of the industry you’re targeting
Design: Keep it clean, consistent, and skimmable
From Record to Relevance
Your CV’s job is to get you an interview — not tell your entire story. Relevance beats detail every time.
Career Velocity Tip: Every word should earn its place.
