A CV is a written document of everything that relates to your work history. Your CV can include your experience, skills, achievements, education, and qualifications. As your CV is often the first impression that your potential employer will have of you, it’s also one of the most important documents that you will ever create.

The CV is most often used as a tool to secure the first job interview.  Upon applying for a job, you will usually have to submit your CV to a hiring manager, HR manager or recruiter. Based on their impression of your CV, he or she will decide whether to call you in for an interview.

Your CV needs to be up to date, meticulously correct, and it is essential to land a job – you can’t / won’t secure a first interview without it.
