How to Craft an Impactful CV (Guardian)

There are lots of options available for you to choose the sections, running order and length of CV that will best fit your needs. Variations in formatting do not matter too much as long as the information is clearly labelled, structured and easy to read.

How to Stand Out In an Interview (Forbes)
