A Curriculum Vitae (otherwise known as a CV) is probably the least popular document this side of a legal bill.

While writing my free 30 day online career hacking course I spent a lot of time learning about the interview process from different angles. I learnt about what a HR manager looks for in an Interview, what the hiring manager wants and looks for, I studied the role of the supporting interviewers and of course the interviewee.
