Skills Section

** For Technical Roles

The next section should be your skills section. We know that recruiters only look at CVs for 6-7 seconds, so if you’re applying for a technical role, you want it to be glaringly obvious you’ve got the relevant skills. For example, if you’re applying for java developer roles, as soon as they glance at you CV, you want them to immediately know you have the relevant programming skills.

Students often put their technical skills at the bottom of their CV, but that means that the recruiter might miss that you have relevant skills within those 6-7 seconds, so make your skills section stands out by putting it at the top of your CV!

Feel free to be flexible with the section. “Scientific Libraries” and “Database” are just example sections. Depending on the role you’re applying for, adjust it accordingly
