Your CV should show what you delivered

Put your recent experience first and make it easy for someone to see where you worked, when, and what you did. For each major role, include the type of schemes and the scale of your responsibility.

A list of software and qualifications has its place, but outcomes matter too. Did you lead a team, reduce downtime, deliver a programme or improve a process? Give enough context to make the claim meaningful.

If your CV is out of date, start with the last two roles. They are often the most relevant.
