When crafting these pillars, there are a few general rules that you need to keep in mind when creating these materials:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Rule #1<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; Put yourself in the position of the hiring manager. Always think of how the hiring manager will think about what you write in your profile.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Rule #2<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; Relevant Experience beats Overall Experience. When you craft the marketing materials, you need to know what the hiring manager is looking for and focus on the relevant experience. This always beats the overall experience. The hiring manager will be looking at the relevant experience to what the job he\/she might be considering you for. It\u2019s much more valuable!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #ef476f;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Your CV<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To make sure your CV is amazing when you submit it, I created The Ultimate CV Checklist.
