January is a time for contemplating new beginnings. For some, this could be a commitment to join the gym, or maintaining a strong resolve to build that long-neglected savings account, but for around <\/span>1 in 10 people<\/span><\/a>, a career change will be the main focus of 2024.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n With research suggesting that <\/span>73% of all departments<\/span><\/a> will have remote workers by 2028, and LinkedIn reporting a<\/span> 2.5X increase<\/span><\/a> in remote job postings since 2020, there\u2019s never been a richer \u2014 or more competitive \u2014 landscape for job seekers.<\/span><\/p>\n A CV specialist for <\/b>Jobseeker<\/b><\/a> explains:<\/b> \u201cThe traditional trade-off between relevant opportunities and geographical constraints is rapidly melting away \u2014 but if you\u2019re hoping to beat the competition at an international scale, you\u2019ll need a highly-tailored resume.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n To help you stick to your New Year\u2019s resolution, the experts at Jobseeker have created a guide to crafting a CV primed for success on an international level.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n There are plenty of reasons to create a global CV, especially in the era of remote work. Perhaps the opportunities for relevant work in your local area are slim, or the pay grades within your sector are far higher overseas. Nowadays, it\u2019s a sensible, proactive choice to have both a traditional \u2018domestic\u2019 CV, and one that\u2019s tailored for the international job market.<\/span><\/p>\n A global resume should:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Much in the same way that you might have two or three different versions of your CV to cater for different roles or sectors, your global<\/span> CV should be specifically modelled around the premise that you\u2019re seeking remote work on a <\/span>global<\/span><\/i> scale.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n As international, asynchronous teams become more commonplace, employers are going to expect their applicants to demonstrate their suitability not just to a specific role, but also to the unique dynamics inherent in remote working environments.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cMany companies are now transitioning to fully remote setups, throwing open the doors to new regions, and bidding farewell to the geographical restraints that may have hindered their past recruitment drives,\u201d <\/span><\/i>says a Jobseeker recruitment expert<\/b>.<\/span> \u201cWhile this increases the opportunities for both employers and employees, it also means there\u2019s more competition than ever before for job seekers. Tailoring your CV by appealing to this new, globally-agnostic approach to hiring could give you the edge you need to beat out the competition.\u201c<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n While the main framework of your global CV can be based on your domestic CV, there are a few key areas where a change in approach is necessary. Below, you\u2019ll find some top tips on tailoring your CV for job hunting on an international scale.<\/span><\/p>\n In the global job market, diversity isn’t just a buzzword; it’s a valuable asset. Highlight experiences that showcase your ability to thrive in different environments and work with diverse teams. Whether it’s a cross-cultural collaboration or a project that requires you to navigate international markets, emphasise your adaptability and openness to new perspectives.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/span>What is a global resume?<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n
