Did you know? 👀

The modern CV/resumé has existed for hundreds of years.

One of the earliest known resumés was reportedly created by none other than in 1482 when he applied for a job with the Duke of Milan.

But here’s the interesting part:

Instead of focusing heavily on titles or qualifications, he highlighted his skills, practical abilities, and the value he could bring.

Centuries later, that principle still matters.

In today’s professional world, employers are increasingly looking beyond certificates and paying closer attention to:

- Practical skills
- Problem-solving ability
- Adaptability
- Communication
- Real-world value

Qualifications are important—but what you can actually do often makes the biggest difference.
