Here are my top skills that should be included in a CV
- A foreign language (becoming more ‘in demand’ as companies deal with global partners)
- Your formal qualifications (every single one, even that C grade in Religious Studies is important, they all add up to paint a picture of your academic achievements)
- Your skills attained through hobbies (which proves you have external interests and can even suggest you are less likely to develop stress)
- Your skills which are classed as personal attributes (for example, being organised, punctual, thorough, fast paced, confident, or an excellent communicator)
- Your ability to drive, if you can (it can show an added sense of responsibility, the ability to commute, a higher incidence of punctuality and many other things)
