Tailoring your CV to the job offer

A worktop workshop looks for CNC and installations, a headstone workshop for processing and lettering, and a construction company for stairs and facades. Move what the job ad is about to the top. If the job ad names a specific material, such as quartz or sintered stone, say whether you have worked with it.
