thanks for all the advice guys :D i shall sit and construct something over the weekend hopefully
2 out of the 3 also want a handwritten covering letter to go with it, i assume so they can see if you can actually master the english language and write it as well and are not eastern european using spellchecker :?

AWP - very well spotted!! :lol: :lol: :lol:
the key is really be honest... and not so much lie about your skills, but emphasize on the points relevant to the position your applying for.. use google to look at the companies ethics, aims etc.. and if you still want the job, pick up on the bits that are most applicable to the role.
....good luck! :wink:

Getting caught lying on a CV is a fast way to end an interview early in my book!
I'd second the advice above - make it stand out without being tacky, and make it 100% correct in both spelling and grammar, even if you need to ask someone's help to make it perfect.
