Comment by Ben Buchanan (200ok) on "As a developer, what are some of the best practices you would recommend for creating a resume/CV?"

People want to know, quickly:

What you can do - broadly. Are you a focused specialist or a generalist? Do you learn every latest thing or deep dive on core tech?
Where have you worked and for how long. What kind of companies, what roles, duration of roles... what's your work story basically.
What training do you have
Do you do extra professional stuff like speak, write, etc

Try to keep it short and easy to digest. People are busy. They're not reading your CV, they're triaging it. On the first pass they're going to read headings and dot points, they're trying to form a quick picture to see if they should read in more detail. When they read in more detail they're deciding if they want to interview you. But they will not read your life story at the first glance.
