What information should be in the main body of my CV?

Rod Cornwell (International Director, Thomas International) gives expert video advice on: What information should be at the top of my CV?; What information should be in the main body of my CV?; What information should I not put on my CV? and more...

In the main body of your CV, the most important information you need to put in is a passage to sell yourself to your future employer. This part of your CV should say something like, "I am a lively, enthusiastic team worker," or, "I am a very strong sales person with proven track history." Following on from that selling statement, you then need to cover your employment history with no gaps, and include information about your educational history with all the grades.
