What to write in an IT consultant CV
Title and profile
“IT consultant” says little: use your specialisation in the title or subtitle, such as “SAP Consultant, MM and FI modules” or “Salesforce Consultant”. In the profile, two or three sentences on your years of experience, the systems you work on and the kind of projects.
GenericClient-focused IT consultant with experience across various systems and projects.
SpecificSAP functional consultant for eight years, specialising in the MM and FI modules: purchasing, inventory, invoice verification and accounts payable, on ECC and S/4HANA.
Projects
For each role give the firm you work for and, in the “End client” field, the client of the project. Then the type of project (implementation, migration, roll-out, support), your role and a few numbers: companies involved, users, countries, timelines.
VagueTook part in SAP projects for various clients.
SpecificLed the procurement and accounts payable streams of the SAP ECC to S/4HANA migration for 14 group companies.
If you can’t name the client, describe it by sector and size, for example “energy group with 14 companies”.
Technical skills
Group them by area instead of listing acronyms: modules and products, integration, methods, tools. Spell out less common acronyms at least once: recruiters who aren’t technical read your CV too.
Certifications
Exact name and year, most recent first. In the SAP world certifications come in versions: up-to-date ones count for more, and some clients and tenders ask for them explicitly.
How long should it be?
Two pages are almost always enough. Describe the last ten years in detail and sum up older projects in a few lines. If a client asks for the full project list, prepare it separately.
Frequently asked questions
Should I name my clients?
Only if you are allowed to: many consulting contracts forbid it. If not, describe the client by sector and size. In CV Espresso the “End client” field appears next to the firm you work for.
One CV for every client, or just one?
One complete base CV, plus a tailored copy for each application: in CV Espresso you duplicate your CV and bring forward the projects closest to what the client needs.
Which template should I use?
A clean one: this example uses the Column template, with technical skills in the side column. If you apply through a portal that reads CVs automatically, switch to Essential in one click.
