The importance of promoting key skills on your CV

Your CV needs to sell your key skills. With nearly all job applications being made online these days, it is vital that your CV clearly demonstrates your expertise.

Some job boards now search your CV for key words. So depending on your job target, compile a set of key skills and incorporate and highlight these into your CV. Also, make sure that you go beyond just stating your skills and practice highlighting the benefits that each key skill offers a prospective employer.

Also make sure you incorporate your key skills in all your online profiles. This includes such things as you your LinkedIn profile and Facebook profile. An increasing number of employers will review and read your social networking profiles these days in order to build up a complete picture of you as a candidate.
