CV advice

beast5680:
i,m thinking about sending my cv to a couple of companies and would like some tips  from the forum about how it should look
at present i just have a bog standard version which lists what i,ve done and where etc with a bit of background at the end but listening in to a conversation the other day between 2 guys in the pub they were saying that any cv should have a brief summary at the beginning as they would look for this when considering prospective employees as they would read this first and if interested read further, which kinda makes sense
nearly all the jobs i,ve had have been obtained by word of mouth and not by a written cv,

suggestions welcome :D

MudRat:
CV= 2 A4 sides, factual and succinct, add a covering letter or statement that describes how your existing skills would link in and essentially enhance the position you are interested in. Make sure the statement addresses all of the requirements in the job description, also add in how you would push the company forward etc etc, if you are unsure, write one, email me and i will give it a once over.  :wink:

I recently did mine, I sent it to Prodrive and was invited to an interview (tomorrow morning at 9am, nervous, me? Nooooo) so it cant be that bad.....

If you like, I can email it to you, for use as a template...or just to give you a few ideas.
