How to Edit CV Skills and Experience Icons in PowerPoint

Slide Content

The slide provides instructions on editing CV skills and experience icons in PowerPoint tailored for two types of icons: flat and outline. For flat icons, it recommends changing the fill color without adding an outline, showing that color customization can be done quickly. This means one can modify the visual appearance to better match the presentation’s color scheme or to emphasize particular skills. For outline icons, it suggests changing the outline color or the shape weight, which relates to adjusting the visual strength and focus of the icons by altering their border color or thickness. These modifications can help highlight different levels of proficiency or experience visually.
