Most construction CVs get rejected in under 10 seconds.

Not because the experience isn't there - but because it's buried.

After 16 years in the industry, I've seen what separates a CV that gets a callback from one that gets ignored. Here's what actually works:

✅ Lead with a sharp profile summary — hiring managers want to know who you are in 3 lines, not 3 paragraphs

✅ Quantify everything — don't say "managed schedules," say "delivered delay analysis using Primavera P6 on a $200M project"

✅ Add a live portfolio link — I link directly to my interactive Power BI dashboard so recruiters can see my work, not just read about it

Your CV is your first project. Manage it like one.
