CV examples by job: accountant, logistician, nurse, teacher…
A good CV example is not for copying: it shows what proof each job expects. Here is what recruiters look for in six in-demand profiles.
Accountant
Highlight software (Sage, QuickBooks, Excel), standards (IFRS) and volumes: "Kept the books for 12 client SMEs; monthly VAT returns."
Logistician and procurement officer
NGOs and mining firms want numbers: stock value, convoys, deadlines met. "Managed a 450 m² warehouse; monthly counts within 1% variance."

Nurse and health worker
Qualification, council registration, wards and procedures. Hospital placements count: describe them.
Teacher
Levels taught, class sizes, exam results where known: "JHS 3, 70 pupils, 82% BECE pass rate" beats "good teacher".
IT and developer
Languages, live projects with links and what they changed for users. An online portfolio helps.
Driver, security guard, cashier
Licence classes, accident-free years, areas known or amounts handled. Keep these CVs short.
