CV help

[NotAGolf]

Would any kind soul mind taking a look over my CV and letting me know if there's anything that sounds naff (please don't say all of it ). I'm looking to stay in a similar role.

The thing I've struggled with is trying to find a balance between writing for a recruiter who might not know the job role too well, without making it too simplistic for someone who knows the role inside out.

Thanks for the feedback guys.

I will cut down the additional info section.

Would you remove the secondary level education entirely, or just remove the GCSE results? Or maybe say 10 GCSEs A-C or something like that?

The technology keywords I've used are things that I've had experience of working with but they don't really play an integral role in my work so I don't think they really belong in the main 'job role' section.

I'm not a massive fan of the layout, but I'm not sure increasing the line spacing and spreading it over the entire page will make it easier to read will it? If anything it will make it look more text as there will be very little white space.

I do agree that there's a bit too much content on there though. It's just working out what to strip out

Thanks for the feedback again. I've made a few changes:
- Shortened my profile
- Removed several bullet points from my job spec, my uni info, and the additional info section
- Changed the layout and increased the line spacing


I haven't removed my GCSEs. I did shroten it as suggested, but this only saved ~10 words which is nothing. If someone is not interested they can easily skip over it, whereas if I omit it it looks like I'm trying to hide something. Plus my Maths result is good which hopefully helps balance out my **** poor A level grade!

I also haven't moved my IT/skills section up. I understand the logic but apart from the ISQTQB (which I've mentioned in the profile), the skills section in my job role is more relevant and impressive in my opinion.

Here's the new version:
