## Build your own CV
17
-
Use the provided example as a base to build your own CV and follow these steps:
18
-
19
-
### Document metadata
20
-
Fill in the document metadata. This will not show up in the document itself but is used to generate the PDF.
21
-
22
-
### Personal information (header)
23
-
Fill in the ```\myXYZ``` commands with your personal information. This will show up in the document header.
24
-
There are two variants for the header: one with a profile picture and a profile (```\header```), one without (```\headermin```). If you aim for a one-page CV and need the space, you should use the variant without the profile picture and profile.
25
-
26
-
### Work experience
27
-
First section should be your work experience in reverse chronological order. Use the ```\whatwherewhen``` command to fill in the details for each position.
28
-
Afterwards, use ```\accomplishment``` commands contained in a ```cvEnum``` scope to list your achievements for this position. The command takes two text arguments: the first will be highlighted in bold, the second will be displayed normally.
29
-
For my CVs, I try to use the XYZ formula for each accomplishment: "I did X, which led to Y, as measured by Z", which is a good way to show the impact of your work <sub>[1](https://www.pathpire.com/blog/the-xyz-formula-for-resume-writing-transform-your-application/)[2](https://www.inc.com/bill-murphy-jr/google-recruiters-say-these-5-resume-tips-including-x-y-z-formula-will-improve-your-odds-of-getting-hired-at-google.html)[3](https://ultmeche.com/xyz-google-resume/)</sub>.

-
31
-
Try to use the `X` in the first argument to describe the task you did, the `Y` and `Z` in the second argument to describe the impact and measured impact. This will help you to structure your accomplishments and make them more concise and to the point.

### Technical Experience
