Explaining her choice of words, Erica notes that while people might be able to list qualities, qualifications or experiences on their CV, they often stand without context – diminishing their value or your work experience to an employer.
So if you list a skill such as ‘photoshop’ on your CV, Seidel encourages you explain the context of this skill, e.g “Photoshop, which has enabled me to produce images for publishing, print and online projects”.
While it might sound like a little more work, Seidel adds:
“…The explanations that follow from "which" put all your accomplishments and responsibilities into context. They show off your unique approach to your work and, perhaps most important of all, the results they bring.”
So if it’s all about putting your best foot forward, feel free to add some extra character… all thanks to five little letters.Explore more on these topics:
