Employers read your CV with their own job ad in mind.
Read the job ad and note the skills, licences and tools it asks for.
Put your most relevant experience first, using the ad's words where they are true for you.
Keep one main CV and make a copy for each job. "Tailor to this job" does this for you.
Make your CV easy to read
A clear layout helps both recruiters and applicant tracking systems.
Start with a short career profile that names the job you want.
Use clear headings, dates for every job and bullet points for duties.
Keep it to about two pages unless the country or role expects more.
Send a PDF with real, selectable text so tracking systems can read it.
Show proof of your skills
Specific details are more convincing than general claims.
List licences, tickets and certificates, with expiry dates where they matter.
Add work photos or a short video if they show your work clearly.
Mention results you can back up: projects finished, equipment you looked after, people you trained.
Applying for jobs abroad
Expectations differ from country to country.
Check what employers in that country expect: some want a photo and date of birth, others don't.
State your visa or work rights clearly, including whether you need sponsorship.
Include skills assessments and English test results (IELTS, PTE, OET and others) with scores and dates.
Check visa rules on official government websites, and be wary of anyone who promises you a job or visa for a fee.
Apply carefully online
Small details show that you read the job ad.
Follow the application instructions exactly: file type, subject line and documents.
Send a short cover letter written for that job.
Keep a simple list of where you applied and when, and follow up politely after a week or two.
Never pay fees or share bank details to get a job offer.
Prepare for interviews
Preparation makes it easier to stay calm and clear.
Research the employer and re-read the job ad before the interview.
Prepare short examples of your work: the situation, what you did and the result.
Practise answering out loud, on your own or with a friend.
