Profile tone

Short, role-specific, and grounded in evidence. Avoid long personal statements and generic ambition lines.

Proof bullets

Each bullet should show what you did, where, with which tool or context, and what improved.

Local signals

Language level, location, availability, and role title should be easy to understand in the first scan.

Example profile summary

The role is clear immediately.
Tools and work context are specific.
Location and English-speaking target are visible without overexplaining.

Example work experience bullets

Strong bullets are not longer because they sound more professional. They are stronger because they reduce doubt.

Handled 45-60 customer tickets per week in Zendesk while keeping first-response SLA above 95%.
Created onboarding email templates that reduced repeated setup questions for new customers.
Worked with sales and product teams to document recurring churn reasons and improve handover notes.

FAQ

Can I copy this English CV example exactly?

Use the structure and tone, but replace the details with your real role, tools, outcomes, and target vacancy.

Is this different from a UK or US resume example?

Yes. The page keeps English wording, but the structure is closer to a Dutch-market CV: direct summary, scan-friendly experience, and clear language/location signals.
