CV AND COVERING LETTER USEFUL SENTENCES

Hello,

When writing a CV you need to use formal language, most of the times there are set expressions or formulas to convey a particular meaning. In the link below you'll find a complete account of some of the most common phrases to use when you try to describe your work experience, duties, qualifications or interests. There are maybe too many (sorry!) but they are divided in sections, so you can focus on the meaning you are dealing with and choose the one that better suits you.

Hope it helps!
