A list of skills is useful and a list of previous jobs has it's place, but I believe you'll get more out of a CV by concentrating on what you've achieved rather than who you worked for. So, this section deals with a few of the things that I have achieved over the last few years.
Much of this stuff has been achieved with my present employer (Lucidus Ltd). I could have included some of my older achievements, but I would guess you're not that interested in what I achieved 30 years ago!
Key Achievements

A flexible commercial modeling package, the software is used for diverse applications such as the assessment, communication and tracking of value in sales and the deployment, communication and management of corporate improvement & change management.
