The information about your work experience must be in a chronological order, starting from the most recent one. The work experience usually includes the name of the company, the position held and the responsibilities.
Focus on the work experience that gives added weight to your application. If your work experience is limited:
describe your education and training first;
mention volunteering or (paid/unpaid) work placements which provide evidence of work experience.
Important is to stress the consistency of how to write the responsibilities. The information must be consistent, for example, all verbs ending with –ing, or in infinitive or in any other form, but all responsibilities must be written in the same manner.
Check the videos and additional resources below. You will find article on some bad examples of CVs and also examples of a good CV.
