We can only judge whether you’re the best fit for the role if you fill out your CV with your positions held, skills and successes. Of course, your CV shouldn’t extend over four pages. Concentrate on the essentials when formatting your CV. So ask yourself the question as to what your future employer needs to know about you. Note: Not the quantity is important, but your previous actions and roles are relevant for the applied position. Also feel free to tell us about your hobbies and interests.
