Most consultant CVs are built for a job market that no longer exists. First, an algorithm reads your CV. Then a recruiter has seven seconds to decide whether you’re worth reading further. Generic CVs lose. Every time.

In our new guide, we share ten principles that actually work in 2026. How to position yourself for the role you want next — not the one you already had. Which metrics convince. Why “Advanced Excel” says nothing. How to format your CV so both ATS systems and recruiters stay with you.

Then comes the eleventh principle. The one we saved for last. The one that turns your CV from an archive into an argument — and changes how you think about CV writing altogether.

Ten principles. One big idea. Built for consulting firms and consultants who want to win more business, stand out, and secure stronger assignments.
