As the title says I’m after some advice on my CV. I have never been too good at putting things into words, more a hands on person!

I’m going to Australia on the 25th of this month and this will be used over there to help find work. I have two main areas of interest which are home computing (selling, repairing, upgrades ect) and Restaurants. If i was to find a job in either of these two things then I would be very happy! So I have tried to write my CV showing my background in these two areas but I’m finding it hard!

I have read some of the other threads and found them very helpful, even used acidhell2's "profile" he wrote for someone else although I altered it slightly.
