Education and credentials
List your actual qualification or completed training, provider and completion date. The fictional example deliberately does not invent a certification. Check the current provider catalog before recommending an exam; distinguish a historical earned credential from a currently available assessment.
Make each claim verifiable
Describe the task, what you owned, the checks performed and the result. Use a number only when you can support its definition, comparison and source. If the work was a personal project, label it as a project rather than paid employment. If it was confidential, provide an appropriate description without publishing private data.
Adapt the CV to the advertisement
Match required responsibilities with evidence you actually have. Keep preferred tools separate from mandatory qualifications, and do not claim proficiency because an assistant produced code you cannot explain. Make the relevant project or experience easy to inspect.
Before sending
- Check dates, names, qualification status and links.
- Remove private data, credentials and unsupported commercial outcomes.
- Use the employer’s requested file format and review the exported document.
