Urgent CV help - is this the right terminology

[Cancellingadvice]

Hi

I would really appreciate some help here. Does the following make sense? Is disseminate the right word?

X is very analytical and enjoys disseminating data into a clear, articulate story

Thanks!

Err, it's a good word but don't think it's quite right. Disseminate = share, spread; so I would say summarising data into a clear, articulate story and disseminating effectively to relevant audiences (or similar).

I would use organising there. Disseminating information is akin to broadcasting it.

It's not quite right - I think the word you are looking for is translating or conveying, but even they dont work with that sentence structure (you dont convey into). I would rewrite as "X is very analytical and enjoys conveying complex data to non-specialist audiences through a clear articulate story".

Thanks, I knew it wasn’t the right word

I really want to use analysing but that would be twice in the same sentence. Organising/ summarising are good but not quite right. I mean cutting the data and understanding the story rather than sorting the data etc

Interpreting

Editing
Collating
Reading

I’m liking interpreting

How does this sound?

X is very analytical and enjoys interpreting data to provide a clear, articulate and insightful story

Disseminate doesn’t carry notion of you interpreting.
Can you say ‘analysis of complex data and presentation in accessible format’ (or similar )

Synthesise might be a better word?

Why are you writing it in the third person?

Skilled in presenting complex data analysis in accessible formats.

@Bluesheep8

Why are you writing it in the third person?

I’ve always been told to write a CV in third person. Is that not correct?

It's a common format op

Synthesising is perfect, thanks

@Cancellingadvice

Synthesising is perfect, thanks

I wasn't aware that it's a common format - you learn something new every day.
I've always written mine in the first person and I've never seen one written in the third person

Ive never seen a cv in the third person and I've done lots of recruitment. It's your advert for yourself and should be in the first person.

Definitely don’t write your CV in the third person

Synthesising doesn’t work in that sentence either.

Third person CVs are quite old fashioned now, and you need to say why it’s important e.g. to facilitate decision making, to drive profitability etc.

“X enjoys / I enjoy analysing and interpreting data to provide insights and support decision making.”

First and third person are both acceptable

Removal of pronouns solves the problem of informality though.

My DH had his third person and got nowhere. I changed it to first person and he got a lot more interest from recruiters. It seems weird to do a 3rd person format.

I've always written in 3rd person without pronouns and wrote cvs professionally for a while. It worked for me!

Are you X? That seems very weird to describe yourself in the third person. I've never seen a CV like that in 20plus years of working in financial services/technology. I've reviewed hundreds, possibly thousands of CVs.

Is it an industry specific thing, Law maybe? The only person I've seen whose blurb on linkedin is in third person is a lawyer.

I agree, it is better to avoid saying what you enjoy, and focus on accomplishments. Some very good advice here: www.askamanager.org/2020/07/heres-a-bunch-of-help-finding-a-new-job.html

An American site (so CV = resume), but really helpful.
