Other Details –All employers and recruitment agencies in the gulf have an Applicant Tracking System installed that can collect and store a CV or resumé into chunks of data/information into a database, and be retrieved easily during a search. If your CV/resume is not ATS friendly, written correctly, or formatted properly, then, the wrong information may go into the columns, which means you will never be found. Include keywords that match the JD.  If you’re further along in your career, keep the details of your jobs history limited to the past 15 years for your professional CV writing.
