There are several categories of information you can include in your CV to describe your professional profile: personal details, work experience, education, and qualifications.
Personal Details
It's important to include contact information such as your full name, address, phone number, and email address so a potential employer can reach you. You can also include personal interests that are related to your job application (such as an interest in politics for a career in government service) or a career objective (a short description of your goals and aspirations) to add value to your CV.
If you'd like to provide evidence of the work that you're capable of, you can also include work samples (such as a link to your website). For instance, a professional photographer's CV may seem incomplete without photo samples.
Work Experience
You should list your work experience starting with your most recent job and move backwards through your work history. It's recommended you only include work experience that is directly related to your job application, although it's fine to include unrelated jobs if you have no other experience.
Include your job title, the name of the company you worked for, the daily tasks you were responsible for, and any accomplishments you earned. Use action words (e.g. "improved," "integrated," or "expanded") and short sentences to describe your responsibilities and achievements; this language can be effective because it is impactful and easy to read quickly.
Education
You can include information about where you've attended school, including secondary school and university, and the subjects you've studied.
For instance, you can mention specific GCSEs, O-levels, A-levels, diplomas, or degrees that you've taken and the grades you earned. However, it's recommended you only include grades if the job application requires them or if they make your application stronger.
Qualifications
In addition to your work experience and education, your qualifications show potential employers the skills that make you suitable for a job. You can mention hard skills (e.g. teachable abilities like proficiency in data entry or word processing), soft skills (e.g. character traits like punctuality or enthusiasm), awards (e.g. scholarships, bursaries, honours, etc.), and non-profit organisation memberships (e.g. volunteer work).
