Gone are the days when a plain CV was enough. In 2025, employers want more than a list of jobs—they want to see your story, your skills, and your personality. That’s where personal branding comes in.
A strong CV today includes:
- A compelling summary/profile at the top
- Clear examples of achievements (numbers and results)
- Links to LinkedIn profiles, portfolios, or even video resumes
- Soft skills like leadership, adaptability, and emotional intelligence
