CV Format
When writing a CV, care should be taken about how you arrange and present the facts. You should also choose the appropriate format. You should consider the profession that you are applying for. One should also include all details necessary to qualify for consideration for the position. The CV should be able to speak for you through highlighting the most important facts that would appeal to the intended recipient. The CV should be easy to read and understand, clearly spaced out and written in s simple printable font. As such, the font should not be too small or too big. Only the details that the recipient requires should be present on a CV.

Usually, starting with the recent facts and ending with the older ones is the modern way of writing a CV. A sample CV is as below. You can browse for more CV Examples on your left under Resumes.
