Supply Chain Manager CV

To make a stellar document, you may want to use our supply chain manager CV sample to get started. From this CV, you’ll be able to see what you need to include and examples of what to write in each section. To really optimize your time, you can use the resume builder, which will guide you step-by-step and take the guesswork out of creating an effective document.

The experience section of your CV should list previous jobs you’ve held as well as the responsibilities you had in each role. It’s a good idea to list about a decade’s worth of experience, though you may be able to go back further if you have particularly relevant experience before that. For each job, give the title, dates held, and the company. When you list responsibilities, aim for about four to eight bullet points and start each with a strong verb, such as the “coordinated” or “negotiated” verbs you see on our supply chain manager CV sample.

When considering length, remember that it’s important to communicate concisely while at the same time including all sections recruiters and hiring managers look for. Most of the time, this means your CV will be about a page long. However, there are exceptions. If you are applying for a senior-level manager position at a prestigious company, you may want to list more experience or more detail about roles you’ve held (without being repetitive or overly wordy). If you find yourself going over one page to add something optional, such as a hobbies section, it’s probably best to leave this off and stick to a page. If you’re at two pages because you needed to showcase more metrics at your various jobs, that’s probably fine. Our supply chain manager CV sample shows how you can be both concise and effective.

Hobbies aren’t generally included on a CV. However, if you feel your hobbies would add something special to your document and you have space after including all the crucial information, you can add them. Simply add a hobbies and interests section toward the bottom of your CV, similar to the “Professional Membership” section on the supply chain manager CV sample.

Managers often serve as team leaders as well as being part of a management team. For that reason, you’ll want to share your skills as a team player where possible on your CV. On our supply chain manager CV sample, teamwork appears in employment history (“coordinated with the chemical suppliers” and “gathered the team members”). The skills and professional summary sections of your CV are also great places to mention you are a team player.
