Should this be on CV?

I suppose having my CV another thorough check wont cause any harm. Hopefully there will be some improvement.

Thank you all for the feedback. Hopefully i will land something secure soon.

How about getting creative with the term "packer" - what about "container replenishment operative"? Depending on what you were packing, could you use other terminology - hope you get the idea!

Seems your English is fine to me.

It's fine for a forum, it would jar in a CV.

btw, is my written english here all broken? :P i didnt use the spell check here..

It's not the spelling checker you need, eg in your first post I spotted an American spelling (program where I'd say programme) and one actual spelling mistake (turbulance for turbulence), which is nothing to complain about in this context.

However, without you giving any details of your nationality or place of birth, I'd have put money on English not being your FIRST language. And a spell checker will not pick up the things which don't read quite right. You could use the grammar checker on Word, but truly that's likely to make things worse! :rotfl:

Annisele gave a couple of good examples of the things which 'give you away'.

BTW I would NOT follow booter's advice to 'get creative'. Instead, I'd put "Temporary work with XYZ Agency" with the dates, and leave it at that. You were packing, but you might have been modelling, waitressing, or driving: you've 'filled the gap' and the details aren't relevant.
