Pictures on a CV is a no no. Excellent presentation but a profile picture is unnecessary information and not a key component of a CV.

Unnecessary information like, Male, Christian, date of birth , etc 😁😁😁
CUSTOMIZATION: I like that the resource person recommends that the CV content should be customized to reflect what is in the Job Description or advertisement. Unfortunately, too many applicants are just too lazy to do so, and rather attempt to use one and only one same CV for EVERY job, regardless of what the JD or advert says. The lazy shot-in-the-dark approach to CVs is often a waste of time and bullets.
NO PHOTOS, PLEASE!: Profile photos on CVs? In my opinion, photos are a No, No; unless you are applying for on-screen roles such as in TV, Acting, and similar. Photos are HUGE basis of bias, discrimination, and subjective decision-making NOT related to the job and the required skills for the same. The fact that certain forms of information, practices, and discrimination-inducing features are common in CVs and selection processes in Ghana does not make it right to promote their use. LinkedIn Profiles (with or without photos) are NOT CVs.
SKILLS SUMMARY: I personally prefer to see a summary of relevant SKILLS, very clearly and succinctly stated, close to the top of the CV or somewhere on the first page. Many employers hire for your skills. They want to know them upfront. Many C readers do not want to go searching the rest of the CV for the most important things.
ACHIEVEMENTS: The Work Experience section should, ideally, reflect bullets of your ACHIEVEMENTS (not just a boring list of Tasks, Duties, And/or Responsibilities from past/current job description).
NO ONE BEST WAY; CONTEXT IS KING: All said and done, there is no one way of skinning a cat (as the resource person pointed out). What one does in a CV depends on the context: country, employer requirements, occupational group, level of work, type of work, etc.
This is really deep thanks for the insight
