    caravanlover,

    Don't worry too much about it - they probably just need some paperwork for their records. Draft something up and ask them if it's okay, and then make any amendments they want for a final version. They're obviously happy with you as you are, so as long as it looks like some effort has gone in they won't expect you to be superhuman.
    :heartsmil When you find people who not only tolerate your quirks but celebrate them with glad cries of "Me too!" be sure to cherish them. Because these weirdos are your true family.

    I had this problem with CV's so I put a search for "CV template" on google

    I cant remember which site it was, but Im sure you should be able to find one that lays out the best way to present your CV, how to lay out the wording, what to include, what to include as options. Ended up with quite a decent looking one too.

    good luck btw

    I try not to be so pedantic and unhelpful - and I certainly am guilty of spelling mistakes/grammar myself all the time. I just found the thread title and the first sentence a little worrying.
  • Do you have microsoft word? There are some useful templates on there, so all you have to do is fill in your information and it will all be done for you.

    Posts like this make me very, very glad my children have left school. Isn't a basic grasp of English a pre-requisite for becoming a TA?

    Perhaps written english isn't as important as the ability to communicate?

    I don't know only asking in this instance.

    May not be for an english speaking position?
