I appreciated the percentages reflecting "the most important aspects of CV" based on a 2010 Orange County Resume Survey by Eric Hilden. Spelling and grammar counted 14%, while previous related work experience counted 45%. This resource was not focused on an academic CV (it's from the UK), so it scored education only 9%.
