About this chapter

To close the course, I step back and say again that this is just my view. Your CV is personal, and the only right approach is the one you choose, after hearing different views.

Key points

• The purpose of a CV is to get you in the door; anything that does that is a good CV, even an unusual one.
• Different departments and companies expect different things, so you can't please everyone.
• Take what's useful from the course, ask other people for their perspective, and be aware of conventions in your own field.
• You're in control of this document, and you decide how to present yourself.
