Hi,

I am currently ending my student contract with my current employer as I have now graduated from university. I have been applying for jobs but have reently redone my CV and was woundering if anyone could spre a few moments to have a quick look over it and criticize, suggest or provide feedback, thoughts on it and what not to/should/etc include.

Link to draft version bellow.

Any feedback would be very much appreciated.

*removed*

Thank you very much :)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

UPDATE

I have taken suggestions on board and made some draft change to it, I feel it looks a bit messy :confused: I wasn't ure how to lay out the bullet points.

If you could spare some time to take a look at the content and layout this would be very mch appreciated again. Link for updated CV is as bellow:

*removed*

Thank you :)



EDIT

******** ~~ FINAL DRAFT VERSION ~~ ********

So I have taken all points and feedback on board and I (think) I have come to something that I am happy with and is close to the final version.
I think it might need jazzed up a little, possibly a bit of colour is it is a bit bland.

I have uploaded it bellow, hopefully I'm getting close now :)


Final Draft

Thanks

Points taken on board. Appologies for the spelling mistakes, as I say its a draft, but I will correct these!

So in terms of the wall of text, how should i shorten this, bullet points, short sentences?

I will also take 'etc' out!

I will take the interests section into more consideration.

Should I include examples of my experiance and work at uni rather tha listing a lot of things?

FnG, thanks, the degree was awesome...just need a job now! :( not so awesome!
 
Thanks for all the feedback!

And thank you FnG for you points :)
I agree it's a bit of a difficult decision as to whether to bullet or go with the style I have chosen. I agree everyone is different and prefers different styles, its a matter of choice on whose reading it. I may try to shorten areas and include bullets too.
In terms of examples of expeiance, yes I could probably do both.

I will take all your points on board and have a look and a rearrange of the CV tomorrow night. I may post back again tomorrow for an update :D

Thanks,
 
Thats for all the comments, i will tidy it up later and check my dodgy spelling. What are thethroughts on the layout in terms of paragraphs and bullets?

Thanks, I will upload the final version when done :)

- Put experience first
- Leave DOB out
- "I consolidated many skill sets, liaised and built relationships with showing my communication skills". - doesn't read right
- "My responsibilities included stock replenishment, stock recording and the ability to work individually and as a team". That seems to be mixing up responsibilities and key attributes to carry out those responsibilities?
- "Responsibilities: Study current development, organised meetings and timescales and undertake development in a java environment." mixing past and present tense

Points taken.

"I consolidated many skill sets, liaised and built relationships with showing my communication skills"
Should read:
"I consolidated many skill sets, liaised and built relationships with clients showing my communication skills."


Didn't notice this:
"Responsibilities: Study current development, organised meetings and timescales and undertake development in a java environment."

Responsibilities: Study current development, organise meetings and timescales and undertake development in a java environment."
 
Thanks for all your comments, AJK I have taken your points on board and made some changes.

I have made a few changes and fixed my dodgy overlooked spelling. Just need to have one more read through to double check.

I feel I am quite happy with things now. Thanks for everyones help.
