AMA about Crafting CVs for the UK Job Market
19 Mar 2026
I’m hosting an AMA on creating effective CVs tailored for the UK job market, based on my experience living in London since 2019 and navigating multiple phases of job searching.
Inspired by the following challenge: Create a Moment: Ask MoTaverse Anything.

I’ll share practical, real-world insights into what recruiters and hiring managers in the UK actually look for in a CV—from structuring your experience to highlighting impact and tailoring applications. I’ll also cover common mistakes, ATS-friendly formatting, and how to stand out in a competitive market.
Additionally, I’ll be focusing on supporting professionals returning to work after a career break, with tips on rebuilding confidence, positioning gaps positively, and making a strong comeback.
Whether you're actively job hunting, switching careers, or returning after a pause, this AMA is designed to be approachable, honest, and helpful.
