Crafting a compelling CV should focus on highlighting technical and soft skills, showcasing adaptability, communication, collaboration, and stakeholder management skills, along with domain expertise.

Job seekers with CV gaps should emphasize their skills, value, and achievements, and align their career goals with the company's mission to showcase their abilities rather than focusing on the gap.
