If you have spent any amount of time looking for the perfect KBB job, you will have most likely encountered the advice that you should tailor your cv to the job description of each individual KBB job in which you are applying for.

When it comes to your CV, one size certainly does not fit all. Employers are keen to see how your skills and experience match the specific role in which they are looking to fill. Tailoring your cv shows employers you’re a serious candidate, and that you really want to work for them. Most recruiters will be able to spot a generic CV a mile off.

Here at KBB Recruitment, we want to help you, so we have put together a few tips to help you tailor your CV to the job description:

Research The Company

It is not just about reading the job description; it is important that you also research the actual company as-well. See if you can find out anything about the company’s values and culture, and include any information which shows you fit in.

Read the job description carefully

We can’t stress how important this truly is; read the job description from beginning to end, thoroughly. And then read it again. Make sure you fully understand what the employer is looking for and what the role requires.

Make your experience fit

Experience that doesn’t seem immediately relevant may still have involved skills listed in the job description. Lots of roles in the KBB sector require soft skills like the ability to work in a team & interpersonal skills.

Tailoring your CV is about highlighting the parts of your CV that best fit the KBB job description. It’s about drawing attention to details and examples that match up with the requirements of the role and the company’s values.
