Below is a list of very important information that should be present in your CV.

Most CVs start with these but take care to avoid superfluous details, such as religious affiliation, children’s names and so on. Keep it as simple as your Name, location, email address and contact number.
Education and qualifications
Take care to include the names of institutions and dates attended.
