Question about writing an English CV

0 I am French, leaving in the US and need to prepare a CV and a letter of motivation for a position in the UK. In reading many posts on this (neat) forum, I noticed that there are many differences in the format of CVs for each country and I would like to make sure that what I read seems appropriate. I'd appreciate benefiting from any input the "experts" may have in this exercise.02br

00It seems like it is common to enter personal information at the beginning of the CV, such as date of birth, nationality, marital status etc. Is this correct?02br
00I read that contact information (email, address, phone number) should always be at the end of the CV. True/False?02br
00If anyone has experience in the redaction of CVs in both countries I would greatly appreciate any input.02br

00Letter of motivation:02br
00Again there seems to be minor differences which ..... can make a difference. As an example we (US) punctuate "Dear Sir;" and it seems UK correct typing would be "Dear Sir,". The content itselfl is pretty much "universal" and very well detailed in many other posts.02br
00Are there any specifics in regards to punctuation, paragraph spacing, ending formulas (instead of the brief "Sincerely," we use here) that should be used to taylor both of these documents so it sort of proves that, at least, an effort has been made to customize the letter to the recipient?02br
