How to write a CV that tells your story

Start with the role you want.

Choose relevant experience before choosing a layout. A focused CV helps readers find the evidence that matters.

Make your experience specific.

Describe what you did, why it mattered and the outcome. Only use numbers you can support. Do not invent metrics to make a bullet point sound stronger.

Edit for clarity.

Use descriptive headings and consistent dates. Read the document aloud, remove repetition and check contact details before sending.
