How to describe your skills on a CV to catch a recruiter's eye

CV Majster knowledge base

The skills section is a key part of every CV. It lets the recruiter quickly judge whether you have the qualifications the job requires.

Divide your skills into hard skills (tools, technologies) and soft skills (communication, time management).

Match your list of skills to the requirements in the job offer.

Key tips:

  • Name specific programs and programming languages instead of general buzzwords.
  • State your level for the key technologies.
  • Back up your soft skills with short examples in the experience section.
  • Avoid listing skills you cannot defend.
