The document provides guidance on creating an effective curriculum vitae (CV). It should include personal details, education and qualifications, work experience, interests and achievements, skills, and referees. The order and emphasis of these sections depends on the specific job application. A CV conveys an applicant's qualifications in the best light and can be used for multiple applications. It should be no more than 2 pages for new graduates but may be longer for academic or technical roles. CVs must be clearly laid out, concise, positive, and honest without inaccurate information.
