Decoding the Job Market with Wiesmann & Co.

Your CV is much more than a simple document: it's your professional calling card. It's often the first contact a recruiter will have with you—and a few seconds are enough to make a good impression… or not.

Here are recruiters' best practices for writing a clear, effective, and stand-out CV.

Tailor your CV to each application

A good CV is never generic. It must match the target position, include keywords from the job offer, and highlight what's truly relevant.

Be clear, concise, and structured

Opt for a simple, readable layout with a clear hierarchy:

• Job Title
• Directly relevant experience
• Quantifiable results, if possible
• Specific skills

Highlight your achievements, not just your duties

A recruiter isn't just looking to know what you've done, but the impact you've had. Use action verbs and illustrate your results.

Example: "Reduced order processing time by 30% in 6 months" is stronger than "Managed customer orders."

Personality & professionalism

A good CV also reflects your style, commitment, and seriousness. Pay attention to your writing, avoid mistakes, and dare to include a human touch (languages, passions, soft skills).

Get it reviewed and supported if needed

At Wiesmann & Co., we help candidates refine their CV and highlight their added value.

Conclusion

A good CV isn't necessarily the prettiest, but the one that speaks to the recruiter and aligns perfectly with the proposed position. Take the time to work on it; it's your best ally.
