BEFORE & AFTER CASE STUDY
OLD CV / RESUME Average Resume: Not horrible, but not good enough Not competitive: Attracting few interviews Low impact: No energy and nothing stands out Boring: Too long and too dense Weak content: No “success stories,” and strongest points
are buried under text
NEW CV / RESUME Result: Immediate interest from recruiters who ignored his previous
resume – now he’s getting stronger interest and more interviews.
New content: Success stories make a candidate look very compelling to hiring managers. Success stories show your potential and “value proposition” very quickly.
High impact Intro: Makes a favorable impression in the first milliseconds. Headings & subheadings ensure readers are never lost.
Versatile: One resume with 2 configurations: A 1-page networking bio or a full 3-page CV / resume.
