Walk Me Through Your CV
mediumComplete guide with examples and interview questions · 15 min
Say it out loud in an interview — clear, simple, no textbook wording.
"Walk me through your CV" is the same question as "Tell me about yourself" with the document in front of the interviewer. They will follow your CV line by line, so your story must survive contact with it.
Interviewers score three things. Does the story match the document, with no surprises. Do transitions make sense in one sentence each. And does the walk end at this role, not just at your last job.
The trap is narrating every bullet. Your CV has the detail. This answer needs one story per role, chosen for this job, plus honest one-liners for transitions and gaps. Anything longer loses the room.
Key takeaways
- •One story per role, chosen for this job, not every bullet
- •Explain transitions in one sentence each, without apology
- •Own gaps plainly, then move on
- •End on the role you want, not the last job you had
