Writing a great resume or CV involves more than just listing out your education and work experience. It's much like crafting an advertisement - a lot of thought and care needs to go into who your target audience is (the company you're applying to), what they're looking for (the specific job requirements), and more.

Today, I'll share 8 crucial tips for making your resume better - and increasing the chances that it'll land you an interview.
