[ THE SIX CHECKS ]

What a hiring manager sees in nine seconds

01
Impact, not duties

"Responsible for" is a job description. "Cut the backlog 52% in 13 weeks" is a CV.

02
Buzzword density

Dynamic, passionate, synergy. Each one costs you credibility with the hirer.

03
Numbers on the page

Budgets held, project values, teams led, caseloads carried. If it can be counted, use it. Be specific, be granular.

04
The two-page rule

Two pages, three at director level. Page four has never been read by anyone.

05
Qualifications up front

MRICS, MCIEH, MRTPI, CIPFA, in the top third. Panels filter on letters first.

06
Gaps, explained

Gaps are fine. Mysteries aren't. One line of context beats a panel's imagination.
