Are you an experienced Taxi driver looking for a new role or are you looking to break into being a taxi driver?
Look at what previous work experience you have and how this relates to driving especially driving other people (passengers) around, what have you done in the past that is similar that you can show to a potential new employer?
Also when looking at updating your CV, because of the nature of the role you will also need to have good customer service skills as you will be dealing with passengers using your taxi service and you will also be required to be familiar with the area that you are working in and have a good knowledge of local street names etc. In some towns you may also be required to pass a exam/test as to your knowledge.
