Your CV should catch the eye and be easy to read. It must be as clear as possible so that the essential points stand out.

Pay attention to the visual aspects:

• Margins: 2 cm minimum
• Font size: at least 10 points
• Well-spaced out and consistent
• Heading titles: in bold and larger than the subtitles
• CV headings: clearly identified with lines, boxes or underscores
• Highlighting a term: underlined or in italics
• Maximum of 3 pages

In terms of formulation, use short expressions and get rid of all useless words. Avoid wordy, flowery writing:

• Use bullet lists instead of complete sentences: "Portfolio management for 800 clients" instead of "I managed a portfolio of 800 clients."
• Have no more than one idea per sentence.
• Try to use strong action verbs: "implement," "prepare," "participate," "develop," "follow up," "present," etc.
• Use technical terms: "bank reconciliation," "journals," "treasury," "balance," "reconcile," etc.
• Clearly specify the relevant dates.
• Give your CV a title, right under your name: "Versatile accounting assistant," "Payroll specialist clerk," "Accounts payable supervisor," etc.
• Leave out unnecessary details: non-relevant software, student work experience if you already have other accounting experience, unrelated jobs, etc.
