A good CV template is super important, since the CV is one of the most important sales tools in the job application process – especially as a freelance consultant. The CV is your main sales document, and in order to be considered for interesting projects, you need to have a sharp resume.
We have made a CV template that has all the elements that a consultant CV should contain, set up in a simple and well-structured manner.
You can easily customize font type, logo, colours, etc., to make it reflect your style and personality, but make sure to keep it lean and professional to ensure the receiver quickly gets an idea of you and your skills. Also, be sure to have a professional picture – CVs with a photo get more attention, but if the picture is blurred or unprofessional, it may affect the first-hand impression negatively.
In our experience, it is super valuable to have a profound profile text at the beginning of the CV, summarizing your skills and experiences. This text, which we have made room for at the top of the CV template, should ideally be adapted to the specific projects you are looking. In this way, the customer can immediately see how you are the perfect match for the project.
The CV template helps you structure your experience and ensures that you remember all required information, but you may have doubts about how to angle your profile? Especially if you have long and wide experience, it may make sense to focus your consultant CV in a field of competence that you really want to work with. It may be useful to get feedback from a colleague in the industry and to investigate which skills are in high demand in the market. You are also welcome to contact us to get our view on your CV and how to best sell yourself in the freelance market.
