🧠Best Practices for Writing a Remote Job CV
If you’re applying for remote work, your CV needs more than just good grammar and clean formatting. Here’s what really matters:
1. Remote-Friendly Keywords
Recruiters often search for specific tools or skills. Include keywords like:
- Tools: Slack, Zoom, Trello, Asana, Notion, Jira
- Roles: Remote Customer Support, Virtual Assistant, Remote Designer
- Skills: Async communication, time management
2. Results Over Responsibilities
Don’t just say what you did, show what changed because of your work.
- ❌ “Handled customer emails”
- ✅ “Resolved 50+ daily customer tickets with 98% satisfaction rate”
3. Highlight Remote Experience
Even if you’ve only worked remotely for a few months, say it.
Mention “Remote” or “Freelance” next to job titles, or include a “Remote Experience” line in your summary.
4. Skip Irrelevant Details
Unless you’re a fresh graduate with zero work experience, skip your high school details. Focus on your most recent education and training. No need to add your marital status, sex, or religious affiliation in your CV.
5. Keep It Simple, Clean, and Skimmable
Hiring managers scan CVs in 6–10 seconds. Use:
- Consistent fonts
- Clear section headings
- Bullet points (not paragraphs)
- Max 1–2 pages
