A CV is the only time a driver can give an account of his work experience before being asked questions if called in for an interview.

All they will say is he/she worked for us from this date to this date and no info on performance. Even being crafty and asking if they would hire the applicant back will not be answered.
And here’s a tip for applicants who go for an interview, at my last interview was a human resources lady and after I got the job she later said she looks at the applicants finger nails and if they’re clean she knows that he/she is a good driver.
