The targeted CV focuses on a clear, specific job target listing appropriate capabilities and supporting accomplishments. Each job target requires a different CV.
- You must be clear and specific about your job target, the particular title or occupational field you want to pursue.
- Capabilities and accomplishments must be stated briefly (one or two lines) and must be directly related to your job target.
- Your list of capabilities should answer the question: 'What can you do?'
- Your list of accomplishments should answer the question: 'What have you done?'.
- Experience and education are included, but not the focus; they should support the overall impression conveyed by the CV.
- The CV should fit onto no more than two pages with plenty of white space.
