Insights from Anna Maria Tushes Villi, Global Head Hunter and Career Consultant at Digital Fashion Academy

The fashion industry is undergoing a constant change, your CV is more than just a list of experiences, it’s your ticket to an interview. During our recent Digital Fashion Academy webinar, international recruiter and career consultant Annamaria Tushesvilli shared her best strategies for creating a CV that stands out in the global fashion employment market.

According to Anna Maria, the first rule is simplicity and focus. Your CV should be no longer than two pages, even if you have a long career. “If I can fit 20 years of experience into two pages,” joked DFA’s Enrico Fantaguzzi during the session, “you can too!”

1. Tailor your CV to each position and to each company

Generic CVs rarely work. Taylor each application to the specific role, especially since many fashion companies now use Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) that scan documents for keywords.

💡 Tip: Read the job ad carefully and include key terms such as “digital marketing,” “CRM,” or “eCommerce operations” directly in your CV.

Anna Maria emphasized that sending the same CV to every company is one of the biggest mistakes job seekers make.

“Every role requires a different approach,” she explained. “Fashion companies use Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS), which scan your CV for specific keywords. If your CV doesn’t contain them, a human might never even see it.”

💡 Tip: Carefully read the job posting and repeat relevant terms in your CV, for example eCommerce operations, ψηφιακό μάρκετινγκ, ή customer engagement.

2. Keep the design professional

While creative layouts can look appealing, Anna Maria warned against overdesigning your CV. Recruiters value readability and clear structure over fancy graphics.
Tools like Canva, Google Docs, ή Microsoft Word are great for creating clean, professional templates.

“Your CV is your business card,” said Anna Maria. “It needs to be clear, focused, and relevant to the position you’re applying for. Recruiters don’t have time to read five pages, two pages are more than enough.”

If you need support with polishing your CV you can ask our experts to support you with a dedicated online meeting.

3. Use action verbs and measurable results

Recruiters love numbers. Instead of listing responsibilities, describe achievements using dynamic verbs such as led, launched, optimized, ή increased.

“Don’t just say what you did. Show what impact you had, for example: ‘Improved conversion rate by 15% through a new email strategy.’ That tells the recruiter you can deliver results.”

Instead of describing tasks, highlight achievements:
✅ “Launched a global eCommerce campaign increasing sales by 25%.”
✅ “Led a team of 5 to deliver digital marketing projects for luxury brands.”

Be consistent with the use of tenses throughout the CV. If you start using the past tense, keep it that way throughout the document.

4. Differentiate your CV and LinkedIn

Your LinkedIn profile can be longer and more detailed, it’s your digital portfolio. The CV, on the other hand, should be concise and targeted. Recruiters often search LinkedIn using keywords, so make sure your profile includes your job title, skills, and certifications.

The fashion job market values precision, results, and authenticity. Whether you’re a graduate or a senior manager, applying these rules will increase your visibility, both to recruiters and head hunters.

Although both serve as professional profiles, they play different roles.

“Your LinkedIn profile can be long and detailed,” Anna Maria explained. “It’s your online portfolio, you can write your full career story there. The CV, instead, should be short and adapted for each position.”

Enrico added:

“Think of your LinkedIn as your long-form professional narrative, and your CV as your pitch. The recruiter will often find you on LinkedIn first, then ask for your CV if you’re a good fit.”

Final advice: quality over quantity

Anna Maria closed the session with a reminder that job searching is not about volume but precision.

“Don’t apply to fifty roles with the same CV,” she said. “Apply to five, but make each one count.”

Στο 1ΤΡ1Τ, we believe the same rule applies to your career development: focused, strategic moves create lasting success.
