KPMG also comments that any experience a candidate lists on their CV should be up-to-date and relevant, those hunting for sales jobs may be interested to hear.
Lesley Winterflood, head of recruitment in the UK for the group, states that her firm is looking for CVs that cut out any clutter and are succinct, which can include the use of bullet points.
