What to include: 

 Here’s a condensed version that maintains the key language: 

A CV for board positions differs significantly from a standard job application CV. Board CVs focus on transferable skills, strategic thinking you bring to a boardroom. Our host boards seek Observers who can contribute fresh viewpoints. They want to understand how you show up in the world, your core values and how you want to contribute to community. Rather than detailed career history, emphasise impact and outcomes. Your CV should highlight how your professional skills, personal background and lived experiences have shaped your values and perspective while offering insight into the difference you’ve made both professionally and in your day-to-day life and the unique perspective 

Our guide will help you create a distinctive, board-focused CV that stands out. Work through these steps.
