A few years back I went to the jobcentre for CV advice and they referred me to some associated help centre who help with CVs.
It was free for starters. Went down there for 2 or 3 days, CV TOTALLY rewritten, got a new job soon after!

So, get down your local JC!

Good luck!

I tried that. Under no circumstance would I send it out until I’d rewritten it and corrected it. They were useless!


In later years I had a fair number of CV’s across my desk. Short and succinct wins every time. Two pages maximum. The first thing I’d look at is your Key Skills.
References can be a nightmare, be sure your referees will back you up. I rarely followed up references. One caught my eye and I made the phone call, “Who? Never heard of him!” the supposed referee was an old colleague.
I couldn’t give a damn if you’ve got two wives and twenty seven kids, that comes under other information.

If needs be you can add a separate sheet outlining any special projects you have undertaken but don’t attach it to your CV. If I was interested in you I would read it later. But again, keep it short.

Whatever you do, never “over egg the cake”, you get caught out and it’s good bye!



BTW I had my heart removed a long time ago and replaced with a block of limestone. (Cheaper than granite!)
