Preferably someone who deals with applications and stuff in their job, cheers.

I've trimmed it down to one page, that's good yeah? Cool

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

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?

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

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 Cool

couple of things.

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
