7 mins to read Did you know that securing your dream job can be determined by how you create one single piece of paper – your Curriculum Vitae, or as it’s usually called: your CV. It is no surprise that while looking for a job abroad there will be several factors that you will have to take into account. That includes finding the right career path for you at this time of life, your desired destination, job offer and passing the interview.
The truth is, how you make a CV is probably the single most important aspect of your application, as it will determine whether the employee would even consider hiring you. Within a small amount of space, you have to capture their attention, show off all your best assets, and convince them that your experience or skills prove that you can do the job they need you to.
Don’t lower your chances of getting your dream job abroad by making a weak, unprofessional CV. With a few simple tweaks and advice to remember, you can make your experience stand out and work in your favour. If your CV appears professional, it can open countless doors for you.
And nowadays, there is barely any job, especially a job abroad, that does not require a good international CV, that is why we’re here to give you 6 top reasons why you should make a CV that stands out today.
This process might be simpler than you imagine, as on our website we offer a free and simple template, which will make the whole process 10 times easier for you. Hop on to our CV builder section, enter all your details and see how easy it is to make a CV professionally.
1. A professional CV guarantees attention
First things first, let’s look at some statistics. Recruiters often get bombarded with hundreds or thousands of CV’s for every job position that opens. On an average, it takes 6 seconds for your resume to either be saved or tossed. That means that the recruiter has a very short moment to see if your profile is worth looking into. If your CV does not appear proper and professional, it might get discarded right away. If your CV is clean, points out only what matters and has a proper structure, you’re already a few steps ahead.
2. A CV template helps you customise without starting over
We know you might not have that much time to hover over your CV making sure that every detail and graphic element are just right. And, if you’re applying for a few different jobs, or want to refresh your old CV, chances are you will have to make some adjustments. That is why it’s so important to have a handy tool that will allow your resume to get changed or tweaked within minutes. All you have to do is go to our free CV builder, enter your new, updated information into the right fields, and the brand new, clean and professional CV will be made automatically.
3. Your skills have to be clearly stated when you make a CV
A professional international CV, if done properly, will be able to underline, but also prove your skills at first glance. You will need to follow the right structure, instead of writing everything together in a slightly chaotic jargon. Another feature of a professional CV is that it utilises all the right KEYWORDS. A lot of recruiters these days use the help of softwares that scan the documents and search for specific phrases, like “German C1”, “Adobe Photoshop”, that are absolute musts for the job.
A good tip would be to review the job post you’re sending an application for and to find the most highlighted or necessary traits and skills they are looking for, and make sure that they are mentioned on your CV as well.

4. Make CV that is more than just a bullet point list
You don’t have much space to describe everything you’ve achieved and made better at your previous jobs, but that doesn’t mean you can only vaguely point out short descriptions of your tasks. But a crucial thing to remember is that you should only make notes from the positions that are relevant to the new job you’re applying for – or just the 2-3 latest experiences for an entry level job.
A professional CV that follows a template will feature very vivid descriptions of your responsibilities that use powerful adjectives and KPI’s. If you want to see what to do and not do when describing your previous experience, read all the do’s and dont’s of making an international CV.
5. Your picture will be your best first impression
An impressive CV captures attention with its content and structure, but if you wish to use a picture to add a face to the experience, make sure you choose the right one. A good, professional picture can make the whole document seem more personal and then also much easier to remember. But that memory of a CV picture has to be a good one – if you use the wrong photo, for example one that features heavy filters, bad lighting, unkempt appearance, or unprofessional surroundings, it might cost you the job.
If you follow our template, be prepared to upload a picture that shows you in the best light, smiling, and ready to work. For example, if you apply for one of our many offers of an Online Game Presenter, a great idea would be to include a set of cards, or if you’re trying to get a Customer Service Agent job, to put on a headset. If not, just keep it simple and clean.
6. Make your crucial language abilities stand out
The jobs we offer for our candidates at Job Squad often require you to speak your native language and basic English for the initial training at your job. Therefore, it’s crucial that you know how to showcase your language capabilities on your CV. That means your CV will not make any sense and will not serve any purpose unless it clearly states which languages you speak and at what level you speak them. Our free template allows you to make a separate section where all your language abilities will stand out. If you’re wondering about how to properly illustrate your abilities, read up about how to best showcase your language skills.
Are you ready to make your CV?
We hope these 6 reasons have convinced you to finally take that step and start preparing your professional CV with our help. So, what’s the next step? Browse through the job offers on our website to find the best match, read up on the required skills, think of how you could use what you already know and can do, and start writing down all the traits and experiences that you deem relevant. And if everything goes right, you’ll soon be getting ready for that first online interview, for which you can prepare for with our advice as well.
