What do you mean by a wider application? As in if there’s more to the application process than solely a cv?
In terms of evidence I just add the grades, work experience and personal achievements , I’ve not heard of using examples in cv’s so I assume I can’t add any. I just have brief bullet points about my work experience and voluntary work.
I guess the expanding on university skill is pointless as we all have the same?
Is there something specific I should be doing in my cv that I’m not already?
yes - if your CV is being submitted with anything else (online application questions or cover letter) a personal profile is completely redundant.
So you are putting work experience and education into competency format rather than in chronological order? If so, I think most recruiters would hate that as it’s impossible to work out quickly what order things have been done in. If it’s in addition of chronological order, it’s just unnecessary repetition.
I can’t really answer what you should be doing with your CV without seeing it.
