I have never done proper job hunting before and it seems I am getting very little response from my C.V. so I gave it an overhaul and wondered if you fine ladies and gents might give me some "constructive" criticism before I "aired" it.

download the .DOC file from the link below

[EDIT]

Up loaded an improved (hopefully) C.V.
one has smaller margins which allows me to fit it all onto 2 pages but I am unsure how this will look once printed off,
need to test print it tomorrow when I have acces to a printer. :)

Many Thanks

I was under the impression 2 pages was enough, however the reason I made the change was that the 2 people that have commented, said there was not enough detail about my previous jobs. :)
 
Too long and try and keep parts on the same page i.e. when you list benny's pizza, then move to the next page to discuss it.


I'll sort that out when i do another draft of it, kind of obvious really I should have noticed that.


Employers don't want to hear about the history of Sainsbury's - massively cut down / completely lose all of those sections. Generally I'd say it's just a bit verbose really. Keep it concise.


The reason I have mentioned sainsburys "skills" is because it includes warehousing, I have noticed a lot of jobs that i am applying for (transport related) also want warehousing experience.


too much about work history, try

Dont box your quals, use bullets instead

dont much like the layout tbh

Header (name, contact details etc)

Little bit about yourself

Employment history

Education

Relevant skills and experience

What do you mean by your don't like the layout ? could you possibly expand on that at all IE. where i am going wrong.





You could lose a page by removing the huge spaces between items.

Also, smaller font.

I'll look into that also thank you.

Your page numbers say "3 of 2" "4 of 2"

Yeh I am not quite sure why that is it did that automatically. I'll have to also try and sort that out heh heh








Thanks so far for the comments guys keep em coming.
