FOr example someone claims to have done something, been part of something. The "so what" is what value does that have here, how has it made this person better or advanced them. Have they just put down some of the generally expected statements to make it sound good? Check your CV and see if you can challenge anything on it. If you can get your response ready; you may not need it but preparation is the key. Employers want to know what sort of person you are, not just can you do the mechanical things.
My CV is a thing of wonder. I've spent hours upon hours working on that baby. I know it inside out and everything on there is a relevant talking point. Ask me a question about it and I'll have an answer. Different people will see different faults in it of course but considering I'm only 19, it's got some good stuff on it.
