Any tips for creating a good cv?

I have never lied and advise you not to either. These days employers are more likely to check you, including your 'social media lifestream'.

If I can choose three words for a good CV they are these:

brief; concise; and relevant.

It's in your Covering Letter where you can tailor your job application and link to specific details in the enclosed/attached CV.

Then at the interview you can open up and show your personality better.

Lastly, for online CVs, save your file as a '.pdf'. Not only it looks much better but it stops anyone accessing the document.

Hopefully I've helped.

PS:
Only psychopaths/sociopaths are perfect liars
(which means only 1% of their story is actually untrue).
