Resume example: Sales and commerce

This is what a strong resume looks like in this field, and why it is built that way.

Entry-level — Commercial and sales

Sales is the sector that expects figures, and an entry-level candidate has them too — just smaller ones. Every result is shown with its time period, because a target without a period says nothing. The client type is explicitly stated, because the same job title can mean different work depending on the client segment. What you won't find is 'driven', 'results-oriented' or 'commercial talent': where those words would have gone, you now find what actually happened.

8+ years of experience — Commercial and sales

Eleven years of experience, and the CV consistently separates new business from account management — in practice these are different skills hiding under the same job title. Each role states target achievement, portfolio size and client type, so a recruiter can see whether it was enterprise or SME. The sales cycle is included where it differs significantly, because a nine-month deal is different work from a two-week one.

“Handy tool if you don't really know where to start. My CV became clearer and the job vacancy analysis gave me some good insights. I also found the salary advice interesting. Sometimes I thought the texts were a bit too formal and I adjusted them myself a bit. But as a basis, this is really a nice tool.”

“The cover letter writer in particular surprised me. I'd always struggled to write a good letter myself. CV-Refresher used my experience and the job vacancy in a really logical way. In the end I was invited for an interview. The whole combination of CV, letter and salary advice makes it really complete.”

“I was applying for jobs again after a few years and didn't really know what my CV should look like these days. CV-Refresher gave me a clear starting point straight away. The combination with the job posting analysis works well. My CV became much more specific and I ended up getting invited for an interview. Very positive about the whole experience.”

“My CV hadn't been updated in a while. CV-Refresher turned it into a much stronger and more modern CV in a short amount of time. I especially liked the link with the job advert. Because of that, the cover letter really matched the role. I also liked that I could set the tone myself with four sliders, for example more formal or a bit more relaxed and warm. Because of that, the final letter really felt like my own story.”

“Really handy when you want to apply for a specific job. What I liked most was that the tool didn't just churn out a standard cover letter, but actually looked at my CV and the job listing. That made the letter feel much more personal. The salary report also gave me more confidence during the interview.”

“I've recently moved to the Netherlands and wanted to adapt my Polish CV for Dutch employers. CV-Refresher was particularly helpful with the structure and highlighting my relevant experience. The cover letter was also a good starting point. I still had to check some Dutch phrasing, but it saved me a lot of time.”

“CV-Refresher helped me present my work experience much better. Some of the phrasing wasn't quite my own style, so I adjusted that. But content-wise the suggestions were strong. I especially found the analysis of my salary position valuable. I would definitely use the tool again for a future job application.”
