CV guides by job
A nurse's CV is read for registration and clinical areas, a developer's for the stack and what was shipped, a teacher's for subjects, age groups and qualifications. The structure of a CV is the same everywhere; what goes into each section is not.
Each guide covers one profession: what employers look for first, a worked sample section, the licences or certificates that belong on the page, and how the CV changes when you apply abroad.
