Employment, education and project records are kept separate so a reviewer can identify your contribution and scope.

How to write this CV
Describe the client and portfolio process
Instead of simply claiming sales ability, explain which property types you worked with and how you tracked client discussions. Only list transaction figures you can verify. Keep personal client information, addresses and restricted commercial details out of your example.
Prioritise relevant experience
Read the responsibilities in the vacancy and match them to your experience. Connect skills such as Portfolio tracking, CRM, Client meetings to work you actually performed. Put relevant contributions first instead of giving every past task the same amount of space.
Separate contribution from outcome
When describing teamwork, do not imply that the entire result was yours. Explain your responsibility, who you worked with and what you delivered. Without a measurable result, a verifiable deliverable, checklist or report can still provide concrete evidence of your contribution.
Check portfolio and project links
If sharing a project such as anonymised portfolio tracking worksheet, identify what kind of work it was. Distinguish learning exercises from commercial projects. Check that links open, that you have permission to share the work and that no private information is exposed. A concise scope description can replace a link.
Order sections for your experience
Relevant employment and project contributions can appear before education. Start with the most recent role and shorten older records. Use consistent date formatting throughout, then check that headings, lines and links remain readable in the exported PDF.

Frequently asked questions
Should I mention area experience?
Relevant locations and property types can help explain your experience. Focus on areas you genuinely worked in rather than listing every location associated with an employer.
How should I adapt this example?
Replace the name, contact details, education and dates with your information. Rewrite every experience bullet around work you actually did, remove unrelated skills and leave out projects that do not belong to you.
Which layout should I choose?
