How to write a strong CV

Your CV has one job: get you to the interview. It should quickly show who you are, what you can do, and why you fit the role. In Norway, recruiters usually expect a clear, honest, and scannable CV — not a long essay.

Start with contact details and a short profile summary. Then experience, education, skills, and optionally languages, certificates, or volunteer work. Keep it to one–two pages for most roles.
