A tech CV that makes your work easier to understand.

Lead with the role you want

Use a short opening summary that names your focus and relevant experience. Be specific about the kind of work you can do. Keep contact details current and include a portfolio or code repository only when you are comfortable sharing it.

Explain your contribution to a project

For each recent role or project, describe the problem, your responsibility and the result. Distinguish your work from the team’s work. Include measurements only when you can support them; a precise explanation is better than an invented percentage.

• Problem: what did the product or team need?
• Contribution: what did you implement, test or improve?
• Tools: which technologies were relevant?
• Outcome: what changed, and how do you know?

Make remote collaboration visible

Include relevant examples of code reviews, written documentation, cross-team work or incident communication. State your location and availability clearly. Do not imply experience with an overseas client if the project was a personal or training exercise.

Review before you send

Check dates, links and spelling. Remove sensitive client information from examples. Export a readable document and tailor the order of your experience to the role. Keep a copy of the version you submit so you can refer to it in an interview.
