There is no such thing as a perfect CV, or one single “right way” to write it. Your CV is personal and you should feel that it gives an accurate and positive reflection of your experience, skills and motivations – in relation to the required criteria of what you are applying for. You should always tailor and target your CV for the job/role/course you are applying for
