What should be included in your CV,is to be related to the 30 seconds advertisement of a new product. Note the prospective customers have never seen the product and the purpose why you advert is for the customer to be convince about the product and be ready to buy it. What will happen if the advertisement does not contain exciting and relevant information? Nobody will be eager to look for the product. The same applies to your CV. It must be exciting, thrilling, brief, catchy, arresting and inviting.
