CV Examples

CV examples by profession

Every example below is written for its own field. A clinical CV opens with registration and rotations; a data analyst CV leads with SQL and a dashboard someone actually uses; an audit CV is organised around findings and remediation. The structure changes because the hiring process changes.

Each page includes a complete sample CV you can open in the editor, the section order that field expects, worked rewrites of weak bullet points, and the mistakes that come up most often.

Choosing where to start

  1. Match the evidence, not the job title. Two people with the same title often have different proof to offer. Pick the example whose first section is the kind of evidence you actually hold — a registration and a set of rotations, a dashboard someone uses daily, a signed-off set of accounts — rather than the one whose title is closest to yours.
  2. If two fit, take the running order you want read first. The section order is the most valuable part of each example and the easiest thing to change later. Reordering before you write anything is quicker than rewriting once the page is full.
  3. Take the structure, not the sentences. Every sample is fictional and written to show how specific a line has to be before it means anything. Reused wording describes a person who does not exist, and anyone who has read the example will recognise it.

The layout is a separate decision from the content. Each example suggests one, and all twelve layouts work with any of these examples.
