Merging psychology with technology 

Concise Writing – Wordy writing dilutes the impact of your message, concise writing, instead, helps grab and hold your reader's attention, it is one of the most desirable leadership characteristics.

Rapid Eye Movement – There are four basic types of eye movements: saccades, smooth pursuit movements, vergence movements, and vestibule-ocular movements. We utilize Saccades, which causes the rapid eye movements that are used to inspect the environment in our case the CV, they have an important perceptual function because they direct the central retina to salient regions of the visual scene and allow examination of these areas with high acuity. We need this as recruiters take between 6-7 seconds to scan a CV/resume, not nearly enough time to go through more pages when they have more CV/resume's to go through, making it easier for the eye to navigate to important aspects.

Easy Eye Movement – This includes the voluntary or involuntary movement of the eyes, helping in acquiring, fixating, and tracking visual stimuli. These signals travel along the optic nerve fibers to the brain, where they are interpreted as vision in the visual cortex.

Layout Elegance – Elegant, clean, and unobstructed layout focusing only on what we believe to be the most important thing, this creates the assumptions within a short period of time, that you are organized, consistent, have great attention to detail, and can be clear and concise in your messages, these are some of the most desirable characteristics in leadership for stakeholders.

Consistency – In font size, font, spacing, and indentation to create a professional profile indicating high attention to detail.

Incorporating Nero-Linguistic Programming – The Neuro-science aspect of language that stimulates the mind of the reader,  and activates the frequency illusion, increasing the reader’s awareness of specific language, key, and action words designed to reach the conscious and subconscious mind.

ROI – Carry over the most important content, incorporate Return Of Investment in achievements, and incorporate growth of career and learning capabilities.

ATS – Design the most effective CV that has no distractions from what we believe to be the most crucial aspect of the CV, the content.

Know the market

The biggest obstacle people face when looking for their next career move is understanding where and how to start looking. 

One of the first things to start doing when thinking of a career move is being realistic, writing down job departments and titles, and making what you want more clear. You should have no more than five roles to excite and keep you engaged; the word anything should not be in your mind. 

Know your worth! Maximize your time with agency recruiters; it should not just be a one-way communication channel. Ask questions about the market, roles they think you can be useful for, and, most importantly, the current salary, compensation, and benefits trends for relevant positions in the market. The information gathered from recruiters can be valuable information in today's job market. 

Steps to understand the market 

One of the best ways to identify what is happening in the market is to examine what jobs are being posted on LinkedIn or other online job portals. Understanding a company's hiring needs is key to finding the perfect job for you.
