oletko katsonut minun CV:ta
You must choose either the familiar style (oletko katsonut...), or the formal style (oletteko katsoneet). The word for résumé is now almost universally CV, even if in Finnish a (longer) CV is ansioluettelo, in which case you could also say: Oletteko katsoneet minun ansioluetteloa.

Oletteko lukenut ansioluetteloni
.. or tutustunut ansioluettelooni.

"Lukea" is to read, study.

Antti Pyykkönen
: I think this could impress the could-be-your-employer more. (Grammar IS essential and so is politeness also)

Susan Ruusunen
: Likewise. It's always best to be polite to possible employers, not to mention just good manners. Grammar is very important, as well. (the first example with 'minun ansioluetteloa' sounds too elementary.

Pirjo
: I also like this option best. However, to be grammatically correct and to say it in more fomal manner, it is:"Oletteko lukeneet (tutustuneet)", instead of the less formal " oletko lukenut (tutustunut)".

Thank you Pirjo, My answer was "Oletteko lukenut/tutustunut," which IS grammatically correct
