I thought I knew how hiring worked until I spoke with an elite HR consultant. Urszula revealed that my CV has just 7 seconds to grab attention - and I was doing it all wrong.
Want to know the craziest part? Those expensive cover letters I spent hours writing? Nobody was reading them.
During our chat, Urszula shared exactly what recruiters look for in those crucial seven seconds, including the four specific spots where keywords must appear in your CV.
She also told me why getting an interview on Friday afternoon can kill your chances, and revealed the one factor that matters more than experience (hint: it's who you know, but not in the way you think).
If you're looking for your next job, these aren't just tips - this is the actual playbook recruiters use.
No corporate speak, just straight talk about what really gets you hired.
