In my job search i've been offered many free cv checks and always ignored them, however recently i decided to take one up. I've had quite a lot of success with my job search and had quite a bit of interest and interviews so my cv wasn't something i was overly concerned about but it's always worth looking at i figured.
Here's a copy of it as it stands. The 4 roles between 2006 and 2014 were all for the same company

The feedback i've got actually seem quite helpful and doesn't push other services/sales which is handy.
Here's a link to the feedback. It generally says that
-the opening paragraph is too brief/non-specific.
-For some roles there is probably too many bullet points/detail
-Many of the bullets are task driven rather than results driven

Now i have no intentions of paying someone to write my cv for me. But wouldn't mind a few extra opinions from people on here.
As for the roles i've been going for, they're quite varied. My background is a bit of a hybrid of IT, Reporting and Finance. As such i've applied for IT based Business/Systems Analyst type roles but also more Commercial/Financial Analyst roles.
As said i'm getting interviews but i think ultimately i fall down as other candidates have more relevant experience for the roles. I think if i find a company looking for the mix i can offer i'll be find, it's just a bit of a niche role.
