A CV needs to grab attention, in particular the first paragraph.
With CVs, less is more. Keep it to 2 pages or under and be succinct and snappy.
Structure your CV properly. In the podcast, Jeannette goes through what you should include.
In a couple of lines describe what each company you worked for does and include their key metrics.
When possible, include hard metrics that bring your achievements to life.
Personal statements are usually optional. Jeannette explains when you might want to include one.
