ITD @ iTunes

I wanted to explain how to lay out a CV, putting summary information and contact details first, along with a brief summary of who you are, and what your about. After that, your key skills, and here I highlighted only putting genuine key skills.

After that, recent successes, perhaps half a dozen bullet pointed lists. After that, your work history, in Chronological order, most recent first.

Your work history should be titled with your position and dates, a small paragraph describing your role, and two or three bullet points covering your main responsibilities.

The following CV is for reference, DO NOT CUT & PASTE :-)

A good CV layout;
