Reading a CV

  1. Start with the end in mind - refresh on the core skills requirements of the role and rank these in order of importance or into "must-haves" and "nice to haves". For extra points here create a spreadsheet and a rating system allocating scores to people
  2. If you have many CV's review them all at once - it makes comparison effective
  3. Go through the CV's with a pen and highlight points of interests, inconsistencies and time gaps.
  4. Look for relevant experience, career progression and what learnings the candidate may have gained from seemingly unrelated roles.
  5. Pay attention to the usage of words - involved in, knowledge of and experience in generally indicates a less than expert level of ability - or a team not individual achievement
