A good CV shows what you can do in 20 seconds.

No years of work does not mean an empty CV.

A cover letter answers why you, why this role, why now.

First interviews fail when people recite a CV instead of decisions.

Viết lại 3 thành quả trong 48 giờ rồi mới nộp có chọn lọc. Nộp hàng loạt làm hồ sơ loãng.

Chốt số giờ thật trước khi nhận. Freelance cần phạm vi, hạn thanh toán, quyền sở hữu sản phẩm.

Việc remote thật có phỏng vấn, hợp đồng, người liên hệ. Trả crypto ngay vòng đầu là tín hiệu xấu.

Ba case vấn đề–cách làm–kết quả mạnh hơn gallery. Ghi rõ vai trò của bạn trong team.

Headline = chức danh + ngành + thành phố. About 5 dòng có số. Kết nối sau khi đọc họ, không spam.

Chọn điểm yếu thật đang sửa, có dấu hiệu tiến bộ. Đừng dùng cầu toàn nếu không có chuyện cắt phạm vi.

Làm rõ mục tiêu, nêu giả định, tính thô, đề xuất, rủi ro. Họ chấm tư duy hơn đáp án cuối.

Chức danh, ngày vào, lương cứng, biến, thưởng, thử việc, điều khoản chấm dứt. Hỏi chỗ mơ hồ bằng email.

Thử việc theo loại việc, thường không quá 60 ngày với việc đòi hỏi cao đẳng trở lên. Hai bên có thể chấm dứt theo luật và thỏa thuận.

Đọc loại HĐLĐ để biết hạn báo trước. Nộp đơn viết, bàn giao, xin xác nhận BHXH.

Nhờ công ty cũ chốt sổ. Công ty mới cần mã số để đóng tiếp. Tháng trống ảnh hưởng thai sản và lương hưu.

Repo một dự án chạy được còn mạnh hơn stack liệt kê. JD nói React thì đừng giấu dự án React.

Sẵn target, thực đạt, chu kỳ, tỷ lệ chốt. Sales không kể bằng tôi ham nói chuyện.

Nêu MISA/Fast/SAP, loại thuế, kỳ đã chốt. Một lỗi từng bắt được thuyết phục hơn tôi cẩn thận.

Kể mục tiêu, ngân sách, kênh, kết quả, bài học. Growth và brand là hai hướng CV.

Vận hành cần số. HRBP cần chuyện partner business. Pháp chế cần vụ đã xử đúng luật.

Ghi ca, khu vực, on-time, hư hỏng. Bằng lái chỉ để nếu còn hạn.

Năm đầu tối ưu người hướng dẫn và việc thật, không chỉ thương hiệu.

Đừng xóa năm. Cho thấy 5 năm gần nhất còn học việc mới. Mentor là thế mạnh.

Thai sản là việc đời. Nêu lịch đáp ứng được và kỹ năng còn dùng.

Tính thời gian đi lại trước khi nhận offer xa nhà 90 phút mỗi chiều.

Mùa tuyển thường sau Tết và tháng 8–10. Hybrid là chi phí chống kẹt xe.

Chọn kỹ năng tin cùng cấp đang thiếu. Chứng chỉ không tăng lương nếu không gắn việc.

ATS đọc chữ, không đọc infographic. Từ khóa nằm trong câu việc thật.

Sai chính tả, file .pages, ảnh nền, lương trên trời không giải thích.

Cảm ơn, nhắc 1 điểm khớp, bổ sung 1 bằng chứng, hỏi bước tiếp. Trong 24 giờ.

Cảm ơn, lý do gắn scope hoặc thời điểm, chúc team. Không so sánh trên mạng.

Có thể xác minh quá trình làm việc và bằng cấp nếu bạn đồng ý. Không phải nộp mật khẩu mạng xã hội.

Việc thật có địa điểm, người phỏng vấn, mô tả việc. Thu phí đào tạo hoặc giữ CCCD là tín hiệu đỏ.

Hỏi mentor, việc bàn giao, có được vào họp không.

30% hồ sơ là ngành cũ như bằng chứng. 70% là việc mới. Một cầu nối dễ hơn nhảy cóc.

AI giúp chỉnh câu và luyện hỏi đáp. Đừng để AI bịa số liệu.

Trả lời bằng việc cụ thể hơn tính cách trừu tượng.

Tai nghe có mic, ánh sáng trước mặt, ghi chú giấy.

Chốt scope, đưa khoảng thị trường, nói một lần rồi chờ.

Đi khi hết học, lương lệch, lộ trình bị chặn, hoặc hại sức khỏe.

No work experience does not mean an empty CV: coursework projects, internships, part-time jobs and club activities are all proof of ability if written the right way. The one-line formula: what you did + how you did it + a measurable result.

Changing careers does not mean throwing away all your old experience: the new employer needs transferable skills (customer communication, handling figures, time management, sales), not a retelling of your whole old job.

A gap in employment does not by itself cost you points — the real weakness is a CV that leaves that period blank, leaving the recruiter to guess. The one-line formula: skills you can still use + any work done during the break (if any) + a short reason for returning.
