Easy guidelines to help you write a great Curriculum Vitae (CV)

USE THE SINGULAR FOR INDIVIDUAL ORGANIZATIONS

It’s easy to write accidentally about a single company in the plural if you’re thinking about the people who work there. But if you are talking about one company, use the singular. If you are talking about one company, use the singular. If you work at the BBC, for instance, you are part of its team, not part of their team.
