Check my CV please.

Looks good got a sort of skills matrix in there which recruiters will search for keywords to flag up obvious picks.

well used space too.
 
Only comment I would make is that in your descriptions of job roles you talk about what you "do" rather than what you achieve and contribute and there is a subtle difference.

Much better to demonstrate to a perspective employer how you have added value previously with examples.. i.e. particular projects, business process improvement, customer satisfaction, etc... than just to say I support type of client / system with product.

You're right there is a subtle difference but I would say that both are needed to give a full picture.
 
Excellent comments people. Thank you very much.

I will take them all on board and hopefully craft a master CV that will get me the job I want. It's very much work in progress.

Thanks once again.
 
Lose the bartender job, brings nothing to the application - and then be more specific on terms of responsibilities and achievements in the other jobs. And don't be afraid to fluff it up!

I'd ignore this. You don't want a break in your employment history and if by "fluff it up" phil means lie, I'd avoid that.
