CV sample anatomy

No matter your specific needs and the exact CV format you go for, your curriculum vitae has to include some mandatory sections—those that list the key information recruiters are after.

Here are the 6 parts every good CV should contain:

  1. 1 Contact information: your full name, email address, phone number, LinkedIn profile. A physical address is optional, but if you’re professionally active on social platforms such as Twitter or Github, include those links too.
  2. 2 Personal profile: a brief summary of your competencies, career achievements, and an offer of what you can do for the employer.
  3. 3 Work history: a list of your past employers, in reverse-chronological order. In each entry, include the name of the company, your job title, and up to 8 bullet points summarizing your responsibilities and accomplishments.
  4. 4 Education: include only the highest degree of education, list the name of the institution, your degree, and honors.
  5. 5 Skills: the most relevant skills that prove you’ll be able to excel in the job. Limit yourself to 10 skills. Remember to include both hard and soft skills.
  6. 6 Additional sections: anything that proves your worth and validates your skillset. Certifications, additional training, conferences, publications, or volunteer work.
