What skills should you highlight on your CV?

When putting together your CV, the key is to think strategically about what skills are best to highlight. After all, you can’t always list everything and sometimes you should focus on showcasing relevant abilities that match what the employer is looking for.

1️⃣ Start by studying the job description. You can look for repeated words and emphasised skills and start to use them like a roadmap. Employers scan for those exact terms, so make sure your CV reflects them authentically.

2️⃣ You should highlight a balance between hard and soft skills. This means both the technical expertise that proves you can do the job, as well as the interpersonal qualities that show you can thrive in the role.

3️⃣ Approach your CV as evidence of your impact. Look at every bullet point on your CV and see if it answers the question: “How did this make a difference?”

In a job interview, recruiters always tell you to be honest.

But can it ever be to your advantage to lie?

For example, you don’t need to voice every doubt you have about the job or openly criticize your current or former employer. If you were fired, it’s better to frame the situation constructively, focusing on what you learned or how you’ve improved rather than giving all the messy details. Similarly, if you’re applying for a job that isn’t your dream role or you’re using it as a stepping stone, you don’t need to share that — it’s okay to emphasize what does excite you about the position.

In essence, be honest about what matters to the role and your ability to succeed in it. Avoid big lies. But know when it could be smart to tell a little lie.
