So with that being said, here are some tips that you can use, as an engineering candidate, to get your CV in better shape, so you can increase your chances of getting that call back for the interview. The majority of them will look at your application for 30 seconds, and if it does not look 'pretty', its likely going to get dropped. On the other side of things, there is definitely an over emphasis on the presentation of your CV for hiring managers.

Even something as little as not providing the location of the companies that you have worked in could make a hiring manager drop your application in the bin, especially when they have 249 more to look through. That being said, one thing that I have learned from being a specialist Engineering Recruiter is that there are plenty of good candidates that have relevant experience and education, but their CV's look like, for lack of a better word, ass. The majority of people do not actually have a CV that stands out to the eyes of hiring managers and recruiters.
