Driver CV Example and Writing Guide

A driver CV should be short, honest and easy to check. Put your licence type and number, how many years you have driven, the type of vehicle and the kind of driving first: personal driver, company driver, delivery, pick and drop or taxi. Employers also want a clean record, knowledge of city routes and basic vehicle care. If you hold a Pakistani licence and want to work in the Gulf, say that you are ready for licence conversion or a local driving test.
