Help with CV

Sarzzie

Hello,

Could anybody point me in the right direction for a good website to help me with my CV? I badly need to update it, but it's not very good anyway and I could do with some help with it's content.

Any help would be great, thanks

Hi Sarzzie

Having looked at the link posted by Zazen, I would definitely NOT use that as a CV layout (sorry Zazen!). It appears to be a standardised CV aimed at students/recent graduates who wish to work in Europe for a period of time.

I would however be quite happy to design a CV for you. I assure you I am trustworthy, and you could always omit your personal details from any info you send me! I have already done some CVs in response to similar posts to yours for a few people on these forums.

I am a Graphic Designer and my very first job involved setting people's CVs. Many of these people had a poor grasp of the English language [well I did work in a crappy printers!] and I used to alter the wording to make their CVs appear more confident and coherent and give the candidate a better chance of getting an interview!

In order to get myself a better job [as I was so badly paid] I used to go into bookshops at lunch time and read all the "how to write a good CV" type books. It paid off for me and for a number of my friends whose CVs I later designed. I am pretty literate with a good grasp of grammar and punctuation. Being a designer I also have a keen eye for detail so the CV will look nice and be typo-free!

So, if you would like me to cast my eye over yours and put together a draft in Word or on PDF, simply PM me. And the same goes for anyone else who would like help!

Best of luck

I used it on Sunday for my OH [omitting the european logo etc] and he got an interview the next day [he applied online on Sunday night].

But the offer of free help is always good...
