How to prepare your CV
The objective of the CV is to get the meeting. The interview, not the CV, gets the job. The CV is the door opener.
It should create an impression in the minds of readers that they may well be able to solve their problem by employing YOU. They must be persuaded to see you. Your CV is therefore an advertisement for you. It should be written and designed to convey the essence of the potential contribution you could bring.
