Some great tips over here Akos. I've read my share of CVs and often end up reading them as bla-bla. It sometimes feels easier to just start the interview and figure out the candidate because all resumes seem the same...lol.
I really liked the tip about using the first line as a hook. Definitely useful to create some curiosity in the mind of someone who is supposed to screen 20-25 resumes in an hour or so.
Thanks, Saurabh! I agree with you! I've always seen this in CVs and was surprised that I made the same mistake – I haven't applied for many positions during the past decade, so I can forgive myself for not being on top of my CV game. 😃
When I was intensively looking at CVs, I remember I actually liked them when they had the same format, e.g., LinkedIn's export—it made it easier to read the CV fast. In this case, hooks are even more important because people will skim-read.
Yep, highlighting the impact worked well for me. What else would you include in your promotion package? Do you have a structure for it that you could share?

Also, thanks for the mention!

Lover your article! ✌️
Just like in your promotion package also your CV should contain a high-level description of the impact of your work.
