Frequently asked questions
Is it detail oriented or detail-oriented?
Hyphenate it before a noun: a detail-oriented candidate. After a linking verb the hyphen is optional, though most style guides keep it: she is detail-oriented. British writing sometimes prefers detail-orientated.
How do I show I am detail-oriented on a CV without just saying it?
Replace the claim with evidence: name a checking process you built, an error rate you cut, or an audit you passed. Recruiters discount the phrase itself because almost every applicant uses it, and a typo in the same document destroys it.
