We have all seent the templates and the advice given on The One Show, but what makes your CV stand out, really? One example (true story):

A man applied for a job and sent his CV by post. On the covering letter, he wrote to the interviewer saying he knows that many applications must have been read so he, the interviewer, should relax. Enclosed in the envelope was a bag of the interviewer's favourite tea which the applicant knew through his own research. The man, although underqualified, got the job.

Any other ideas or stories such as this will be greatly appreciated.
