C.V Help

Is the job in web design? if not I would say don't make your CV look like that! Bear in mind that if you email it will probably be printed out in black and white.

Keep it clear, simple and to the point. Short sentences and no more than 2 pages are essential. Make sure the spelling/grammar is perfect.
 
Keep it easy to read. Don't use anything other than standard fonts. I read 60 CVs a day at the moment, and want to stab anyone who uses Comic Sans or some scripty handwriting font IN THE FACE
 
The job is for a local holiday park, but its the fact that there will so quite a few people applying and I just want my C.V to be different and stand out
 
As above said, what is the job you are applying for? This will change what the CV looks and reads like.
EDIT

Ok, you answered my question. I dont know then, if they are reading 600 CVs they might want something easy to read and too the point.
 
Should he/I/we include cover letters when applying by jobs by email, or put the cover letter in the email (not as an attachment) or just not bother?
They have aways confused me, if I get the the point where I am handing them directly to shops then I ususally staple my cv and cover letter together as one, is this right?

Sorry for stealing the thread a tad, but I think its in both of out intrests ^^
 
Mine looks identical to this example from that website, you posted.

I'm in health and safety but I think it's not too "in your face" and it certainly looks good / better than the generic word CVs I've seen :)

Took me about 1hr to copy in InDesign CS4.
 
The only one I particularly like from that website is the first CV, and that is only due to the layout, I would have to change the colours all to black though.

If it is for a holiday park, then I cannot see a problem with a slightly more extravagant design, could certainly help you stand out and put across a more 'fun' vibe. What sort of qualities did they specify in the job advert?

If it's any help I used InDesign and followed this step by step guide.

I tweaked the left hand block of information to reflect current job responsibilities as I'm not a web designer :o

As promised:

 
How do I get lines going across the page?
