• The crucial step that over 90% of applicants miss when tailoring their CVs

• Why a simple tweak in the order of your CV’s content could dramatically change how recruiters perceive your application

• A counterintuitive tip for job seekers: embracing vulnerability on platforms like LinkedIn can actually make you stand out to recruiters and hiring managers.

• Why traditional job applications aren’t enough anymore and how strategic networking can unlock opportunities you didn’t even know existed.

• Anna’s journey from feeling like an imposter to leading confidently, and her profound realisation about authenticity in leadership.
