Title: Would someone look at my CV for me please? Post by: sonicyouth on Saturday, June 11, 2005, 13:25:00 Preferably someone who deals with applications and stuff in their job, cheers.
I've trimmed it down to one page, that's good yeah? 8) Title: Would someone look at my CV for me please? Post by: magicroundabout on Saturday, June 11, 2005, 13:26:04 they say 2 pages max.
most employers get bored if any more than 2 pages. Obviously if it doesn't fit onto 2 then 1 is cool Title: Would someone look at my CV for me please? Post by: sonicyouth on Saturday, June 11, 2005, 13:27:21 I could stretch it to two, I've made it really really small to fit onto just the one page, a little bit of formatting and some padding out of sentences would make it fit two easily - do you think that'd be better?

Title: Would someone look at my CV for me please? Post by: Whits on Saturday, June 11, 2005, 13:28:07 i think if you can spread it across 2 it looks better, means you got a bit to say about yourself but not to much

Post by: Whits on Saturday, June 11, 2005, 14:09:02 Change the font to Tahoma size 10 looks a lot better than arial, the layout looks ok and to the point, put the scoreboard thing under jobs, makes it look like you've been doing something for the past 4 months 8)

1 - Downsize your name etc at the top. Doesn't need to be as big. 2 - Place your working experience with the latest job at the top. Whether this is the right thing to do but it's what i've always been told Title: Would someone look at my CV for me please?

Post by: Ben Wah Balls on Saturday, June 11, 2005, 14:31:07 You spelt responsibilities wrong in the pharmacy bit in jobs. Not sure if I'd say I was into drum and bass as a lot of people have no idea what it is so they have the wrong impression about it, then again they might not care.
Title: Would someone look at my CV for me please? Post by: Sussex on Saturday, June 11, 2005, 14:33:46 Definately add this site to it. Something along the lines of website editor. No one knows it wasn't a paid job.
Title: Would someone look at my CV for me please? Post by: Whits on Saturday, June 11, 2005, 14:34:57 not sure it would be a good idea putting this site on here unless there was a site to see, because its a forum they might have a look around and see us all calling each other cunts 8)

Until then, I think I'll leave it in case they come and look at it and think we're all weirdos belonging to some sort of cult. which is half true... Title: Would someone look at my CV for me please? Post by: Sussex on Saturday, June 11, 2005, 14:39:53 Good call, but you don't have to name the site.
If they ask just say guardianunlimited.com 8) Highly believable I think :D |
