When searching for a new job a Software Engineer is often reduced to a 2-page PDF document - CV - that they need to submitted to be even considered for a job interview. With this in mind we need to treat it as marketing document, that benefits from going through a few stages of reviews from our peers in the field. We'll start the workshop with some basic guidelines of how to read CVs with the idea that CV can be adjusted for specific job role (e.g. Backend Engineer with FinTech experience). We'll then split into groups and try to read each others' CVs (and possibly LinkedIn descriptions) to help provide feedback on how to better refine them for the next career step. Pre-requisites needed: current CV in English language that participant can share (e.g. uploaded somewhere online); computer or similar device to view participants CVs.
