Writing CVs with impact, covering letters, and letters of reference

Abstract

A Curriculum Vitae (CV) provides a prospective employer with a summary of your professional life. It lists your achievements — both educationally and in terms of your experience. Prospective employers use CVs and/or covering letters to decide whom they will interview. As CVs are your first introduction to a new company, it means that it’s worth getting them as near perfect as possible.
