Tips
- Tailor the Profile to each job in 2–3 lines: who you are, your years of experience and one result with a number.
- Start every bullet with an action verb and end with a result: “Reduced wait times by 25% by redesigning the booking process.”
- Keep your contact details in the body of the page (not in a header or footer), and send a PDF unless the posting asks for Word.
Sending lots of applications? Keep every role, contact and follow-up date in the Job Search Tracker for Notion.
