Reading a CV

- 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
- If you have many CV's review them all at once - it makes comparison effective
- Go through the CV's with a pen and highlight points of interests, inconsistencies and time gaps.
- Look for relevant experience, career progression and what learnings the candidate may have gained from seemingly unrelated roles.
- 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
