Introduction
This is the “I am” statement. This could be “I am a successful xxxxx with 15 years experience
in the Media industry. I have won several awards and promotions for work delivered … You
should try to avoid the “I am a highly flexible, dynamic individual with a passion for being
challenged … I work equally well alone or as part of a team …” sort of statements.
Career History
This section should be given in reverse date order … so most recent first.

As you apply these sections to your CV, consider their relative balance. If your most recent
role lasted 3 years and it is described over 8 lines then you should try to avoid describing your
previous role of 2 years using 25 lines. Employers generally wish to identify how successful
you have been most recently.
