With the start of a new year, its not uncommon to find folks implement change in several areas of their lives especially their careers.
Many times, this process begins with updating the CV. A CV is the singular most important document in the job search process, which could make or mar the chances of landing that dream job. This is why in drafting or editing a CV, its important to highlight the most important points which should clearly communicate your skill set in the best way possible.
With the increasing influence of social media in everyday life, the dynamics are changing in the labour market and its not unheard of for recruiters to seek out the social media profiles of prospective candidates.
