A strong banking CV makes relevant evidence easy to find. Recruiters need to understand what you did, which skills you used and what results you achieved.

Start with the role

Read the job description carefully. A retail banking role may emphasise customer service and controls, while a risk analyst role may prioritise data analysis, reporting and judgement.

Show outcomes, not just duties

Use concise bullet points with measurable results where you can verify them. Explain your contribution accurately and avoid unsupported claims.

Include technical and professional skills

Relevant skills might include spreadsheet analysis, communication, KYC awareness, regulatory reporting or stakeholder management. Include only skills you can discuss confidently at interview.

Keep it readable

Use clear headings, consistent dates and a simple layout. Proofread names, numbers and qualifications. Tailor your CV to each application without misrepresenting your experience.
