Why This Matters
In the past, recruiters read your CV to know you.
Today? They Google you first.
If nothing shows up? That silence answers for you.
Your content — what you share online — is now the first thing people see. Before your CV. Before your interview. Before your pitch.
Content is your new CV.
It’s your proof of life, proof of skills, and proof of relevance.
Wait… Does This Mean a CV Doesn’t Matter?
Not at all.
Your CV is still your formal key to jobs, clients, and partnerships.
But your content? It’s your personal brand in action.
- Your CV opens doors.
- Your content opens conversations.
- Together, they open your future.
What Counts as Content?
Not everyone’s a YouTuber. That’s fine.
Content simply means: showing what you know, in a way people can understand.
Here’s what counts as content:
- LinkedIn posts
- Blog articles
- Instagram reels
- TikTok explainers
- Twitter/X threads
- Podcasts
- Infographics
- Your CV itself
Anything that shares your knowledge, builds your reputation, and proves your skills is content.
Why Content Works Like a CV
Your CV shows:
- Where you’ve worked
- What you’ve done
But your content shows:
- How you think
- What you know
- What it’s like to work with you
In a world of AI-generated resumes, content proves you’re real.
“But I Don’t Have an Audience.”
Good news:
You don’t need one to start.
Content is like saving money. You don’t wait until you’re rich to save — you save to build wealth.
You create content to build your audience. Not after.
How to Start (Even If You’re a Total Beginner)
- Use your phone. No camera, no lights, no problem.
- Share what you know. Teach small tips from your daily work.
- Write simple. Don’t overthink grammar. Focus on clarity.
- Post once a week. Consistency wins.
- Engage with others. Comment, respond, learn.
Lock in. Start where you are.
Types of Content (Pick Your Style)
| Type | If You’re… | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Text | A thinker | LinkedIn tips, blog posts |
| Video | Comfortable talking | TikTok explainers, IG Reels |
| Visuals | Creative | Infographics, Canva carousels |
| Audio | Storyteller | Podcasts, voice notes |
| Curator | Always reading | Sharing articles with insights |
Choose what feels natural to you. Build from there.
Why Most Professionals Fail to Create Content
- “I’m shy.”
- “I’m not an expert.”
- “I don’t have time.”
- “No one’s listening.”
Let’s be real: That’s fear, not fact.
Most people who succeed didn’t wait to feel ready.
They started, then improved.
Why Your Content is Your Resume (and More)
- Every post is a handshake.
- Every video is a pitch.
- Every comment is networking.
People see your content before they see your CV.
In 2025, silence is your biggest competitor.
So… Why Should You Lock In?
Because if you don’t create, you don’t exist.
- You won’t get discovered.
- You won’t build credibility.
- You’ll keep wondering why less qualified people get ahead.
That’s the reality.
Final Thought: Build Your CV. But Build Your Content Too.
A modern professional doesn’t choose between content and a CV.
You need both.
- Your CV is your story on paper.
- Your content is your story in the world.
Lock in. Tell your story. Build your presence.
