0%

0 of 17 completed

The percentage only shows how much of this checklist you have ticked. It is not a score of your CV's quality or your chances of getting a job.

You have ticked every item on the checklist.

Personal Information 0 of 4

Name included Your full name is at the top of the CV, larger than the rest of the text.
Professional email An address based on your name, such as amina.bello@…, not a nickname.
Phone number Include your country code (for example +234) so international employers can reach you.
Location City and country are enough — you don't need your full street address.

Professional Summary 0 of 3

Clear summary Two to four sentences near the top saying who you are and what you offer.
Relevant skills The skills you list match the ones the job advert asks for.
Career direction It's clear what kind of role and sector you want to work in next.

Experience 0 of 3

Relevant experience Jobs, internships and volunteering most relevant to the role are included, most recent first.
Achievements clearly described Bullet points show results, not just duties — with numbers where you can (people reached, budget managed, time saved).
Consistent dates Every role has start and end dates in the same format, and any long gaps are explained.

Education 0 of 2

Education included Qualifications, institutions and dates, most recent first.
Certifications included Relevant courses and certificates (for example PMD Pro or first aid) with the year — if you have any.

Final Review 0 of 5

No spelling mistakes Read it aloud, use a spell checker, or ask someone else to check it.
Consistent formatting The same fonts, heading styles, bullet points and date formats throughout.
Easy to read Clear headings, enough white space, and ideally no more than two pages.
Professional file name For example Amina-Bello-CV.pdf — not CV-final-v3.docx.
CV tailored to the role You have adjusted your summary, skills and examples for this specific job.
