Rewrite duty lines into achievements wherever you can: instead of responsible for social media, write grew the social following 40 percent in a year. Lead each bullet with a strong verb and end with a measurable result, a percentage, an amount, or time saved. Not everything can be quantified, but even a clear outcome beats a bare responsibility. This is the core of a persuasive, tailored CV. How to reframe experience per role: how to tailor your CV.
Achievements vs Duties
Achievements-versus-duties is the principle that a CV should show what you accomplished, not just what you were responsible for. Duties list the job; achievements prove your impact with results and numbers. Recruiters skim past generic responsibilities, so quantified achievements are what make experience persuasive.
