Typed up my CV, looking for anymore pointers?

Any other information perhaps, is the font size ok, etc?

edit: C.V. got the all clear!

I'm no expert but I like the layout! Might actually steal it for mine.

Kaiju · 26 Sep 2006 at 05:10

Haha, go for it.

yak.h'cir · 26 Sep 2006 at 05:21

Cheers

Seeing as I'm stealing the layout I'll comment some more;

Font size looks good on the computer screen, but print it out A4 and see how easy it is to read to be sure.

I'd try to add a job description where you can. A lot of the time its obvious but you can gear the descriptions to any job you're applying to. I.E. team work, leadership, dealing with customers/money etc.

Also its good to have two listed references. I see you've got contact details for everywhere you've been but I'd have just two listed referees at the bottom with full contact details for each.

I don't see your address listed.

Hope theres something useful to you in there somewhere.

Kaiju · 26 Sep 2006 at 05:26

Thanks. The address is there, just crossed out.

Font looks good to me printed out, references would mean 2 pages though.

yak.h'cir · 26 Sep 2006 at 05:31

I think two pages is normal. I try to keep mine at two full pages, chopping and changing as new stuff is added.

Kaiju · 26 Sep 2006 at 05:33

Two is normal, i think one would be even better though. Catch the interviewer totally off-guard!

Did you actually work in a Japanese restaurant called 'Ah So'?

That's top, right there.

Kaiju · 26 Sep 2006 at 05:40

Yeah, the job is still there for me if i want it. Nice place, Teppanyaki joint, gave me two raises in the space of a year.

I know what your thinking though, lol. When referring to the place on the phone or even in person got people chuckling.

Right, taking the CV off the net now, aslong as one person is okay with it, i'm happy.
