CV writing services - Any good?

If we removed the spam from this thread, we could probably fit what's left onto the back of a postage stamp.

Hi, Ive been altering my cv, only got two interviews in four weeks, so feeling a little disappointed as its format has always got me interviews before, titles are bold and underlined and its two pages in length. I cant shorten it any further. Ive just copied and pasted it here without too much personal detail.

Do I need to re-hash it. Im in finance. Thanks for the suggestions.:D
