Crafting a CV that speaks volumes – even in the smallest details.
When it comes to your CV, details matter more than you think — and one detail that’s often overlooked is your employment dates.
It might seem like a small thing, but adding the month and year for each role you’ve had can go a long way in telling a clear, honest, and compelling career story.
Simply listing the years can be misleading.
For example, if you started a job in December 2022 and left in January 2023, that’s just two months of experience — but if you started in January 2022 and stayed until December 2022, that’s a full year of growth and contribution. A big difference, right?
It’s also important to be transparent about career gaps.
Whether you were studying full-time, taking time out for personal reasons, or looking for your next big opportunity — be upfront about it.
A short note can help hiring managers understand your journey and shows that you’ve got nothing to hide.
Your CV is more than a summary of jobs — it’s your career story, and every chapter counts.
So, take the time to fill in the blanks. It’s a simple step that can make a big difference.
Your experience is worth showing off — let your timeline do it justice.
