Do’s and Don’ts
Do’s Don’ts
Use bullets that summarize your progressive growth
Just be selective about bullets in your CV
Don’t try to overstate your contributions – less is more, especially if you are a junior officer
Leave any Benchmark empty
Keep bullets less than two lines Use fancy font or italics
Pick your best highlights – choose the high level achievements over quantity
Keep the presentation “clean”
