The name of your CV file is often the first thing that an employer or recruiter will see, so it’s important to choose it wisely.
This helps recruiters and talent acquisition teams a lot because the CV can be easily organised into the right slot if needed, and we can quickly see what the CV is for and the job you are applying for.
If you’re applying for jobs, make sure your CV format is not the following 👇🏻:
📑 “Untitled Document“
📑 “Resume“ or “CV“
📑 “Version 2,“ “Final,“ “New“
📑 “[YourName]_Old“
📑 “CV - 2024“
📑 “Draft“
📑 “Confidential“
📑 “Funny Nickname CV“
Double-check that you’re not uploading a selfie or a bank statement because I don’t want to see your Graze Box subscription.
Your CV's file name should ideally include your name and possibly the title of the position you're applying for, making it clear and professional.
👉🏻 Example: Something like “JohnDoe_CV“ or “JaneSmith_MarketingManager_CV“ is straightforward, professional, and easily identifiable for recruiters or employers.
📑 Tip: Keep the file name simple and avoid using special characters. Stick to letters and underscores to ensure compatibility across different systems and devices. And remember, using a PDF format is a winner in most cases!
