CVs is...a roadmap and spokesperson

"That boy was a top student, but when I had a look at his CV, I immediately know why he hasn't been called to a single interview," John said knowingly. "His best achievements was in a small paragraph somewhere on the 4th page."

A good CV opens doors, acts as a road map for interviewers, and serves as your spokesperson long after you have left the interview.
