This document provides tips for writing a successful CV or resume. It recommends including sections for educational and professional history, skills, interests, and references. The main tips are to keep the CV to no more than two pages, use short simple sentences, and highlight strengths in a positive way. The goal of a CV is to get invited to a job interview, not necessarily to get the job, so it should showcase how the applicant's skills and experiences would benefit a prospective employer.
