C) Knowledge

If you're writing a functional CV or have some abilities you want to show off to
the employer immediately, insert a key skills section underneath your personal
profile. You should aim to detail four to five abilities at most.

• Hobbies and interests

If you feel that your CV is lacking, you can boost your document by inserting a
hobby and interests' section at the end. Be careful though; avoid listing hobbies
that don't add value to your CV or are run-of-the-mill, like reading. Draw on
interests that make you stand out or are relevant to the job.
