Why this CV is built the way it is

  • Scale is stated in figures

    Four sites, 25 people, three million euros, 60 stores in nine months. In project management, scale is the qualification.

  • Results instead of duties

    “Delivered on schedule”, “renegotiating their contracts saved €180,000”. That you planned and reported goes without saying; what came of it does not.

  • Certifications have a place of their own

    PMP and Scrum Master are often explicitly required in job adverts. In a section of their own, they can be found at a glance.

  • The profile summary mentions traditional and agile methods

    Half a sentence that answers the most common question in advance.

The example as text

The same CV, section by section. This is how it appears in the editor after “Edit this example”, and every line can be changed.
