Style and layout of cvs
A way of presenting yourself in a CV is to write in a passive manner without using ‘I’ or your name
Example
Keen to pursue a career in Training and currently conducting sessions at your institute. A work experience placement in “How to motivate your trainees and help them pave their way towards the future”.
Bulleted lists sound objective and clear, and can steer you away from the temptation to write a mini essay about yourself
