      Nice one, Cyril! Perhaps some sucker that has already paid this company for a "review" could help us out and re-submit the C.V. the company has "re-written" for them.

      But I doubt that they ever actually read any.

        I absolutely hate third person CV's, whenever I'ma sked to review one I dispose of them immediately and even worse is when they write in the third person on Linkedin about themselves

          I agree about Linkedin profiles in third person, those should be done in first person only.

          I saw one the other day that looked like the person didn't even write it themself, it was like this: "Dave is an enthusiastic, articulate person. He specialises in...." lol doesn't sound right at all, also my CV isn't like that I don't mention my name like that in my CV.

            captainham agrees with your comments; he also feels the same on this topic.

            although captainham may now consider posting all future forum comments in the third person.

                Lots of companies publish their prospectus, portfolio or whatever in the third person. Is it not ok to act like a business now?
