    Nope, spellchecked, printed and verified. It is fairly crisp CV of 3 pages with all the meaty bits on first 2 pages, and I have had good feedback and interviews based on this before. All places I have worked with are well known and need no introduction to anyone in Banking.

    I am willing to give benefit of doubt to some degree to the CV still and my name - but that can't be the case everywhere.
    Printed? What, like, for a letter with a stamp and everything? Signed with a quill?

      Linky for feedback?

          If it was that good, you 'd post it here to encourage membership, rather than force people to sign up to find out how good or bad it might be.
          …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

            This X 10 !!!
            Matt turned my 10 page '1990's style, yes got me plenty of work in the past CV, into a 2015 lean mean fighting CV machine of a few pages - not sure how successful it will be in long run, but applied for 2 contacts with new version (just 2) and got 2 interviews and 2 contracts - so 100% thus far
            The feedback is consistently good and it's a service available to all - IPSE members get a discount. FTAOD it is not run by IPSE and IPSE receives no commission.

              Go mad. Google "Matt Craven cv". You even get a link to one of his webinars...
              Blog? What blog...?

                  My current contract wasn't supposed to get extended but they manage to secure some last minute approvals - so I am ok for another 3 months

                  But this begs a question as to what does it take to get an interview and why is there so much time wasting?
                  Probably because you are not as good as you think you are?

                    I have paid for this service and have still been struggling. YMMV.
                    Knock first as I might be balancing my chakras.

                      Printed to see that it appears correctly as it does on the screen. I don't need paper output but the hiring manager might do.

                      You don't do that?
