Hi All,

Is there anyone here with some experience on CVs who could give mine a quick review? If so please send me a PM.

Thanks

    Hi Cotta

    It'd probably be a good idea to post it on here, with your personal details removed. I was in the same situation, my cv was rubbish looking back on it now. It wasn't getting me many interviews. Since I fixed my cv with the help of the good people on here, I've been getting far more interviews. There are plenty of places I've applied to since, and been able to know that I'll get an interview. Otherwise you just keep making the same mistakes.

    Thanks, I'll see how I get on first as I wouldn't mind someone looking at the format too and hopefully some kind MSEs will contact me.

    Got some great feedback, I was wondering if one more person would like to look at it and give a second opinion?

    I'm happy to - although it will have to be high level feedback rather than specific on each job as I don't have the time for that. PM me.

    I'm quite happy to take a look at it too, though it'll be more for proof reading and format feedback rather than specifics. Feel free to PM me
