> Employers are looking at your education, companies you worked at, years of experience, and maybe a vague idea of what your work area was before this.

It isn't what most people think a resume should be, looking at the very article we are discussing as well all the "resume consulting/polishing" services out there.

Plus, employers are anyways going to make you fill out all this info separately in their recruiting system.

When I look at a CV I want to see someone's achievements, ideally quantified. What are they proud of, how have they helped their previous teams/products/companies to succeed, are they passionate about what they do.
