Need to write a CV but no idea where to start? It’s important to have a structure to record your own work history, so you don’t miss anything when it comes to compiling an effective CV. That is NOT to say you include ALL of it in your CV (you definitely should not), but you first need to “tell” your story before you can “sell” it. The telling is really about listing down your career history, what you did, how you did it, where and with whom, what you achieved, your skills, experience and value etc so it can later be compiled into an impactful job application (CV + cover letter).
