      I like my CV
      To be in haiku format
      Keeps pimps on their toes

        Then we can slowly apply the brushstrokes of bulltulip until I either get a gig or the worse scenario happens.
        Try a summary list or bullet points.

        I can help with that bullet.

          Our time on this planet is short. I hope yours is shorter still.

            Only if I hired you as a taxi driver.

            It was the vans fault.

              Taxi drivers don't drive vans. Then again, you always did wing it with the job specs.

                    SY - just a couple of tips. Use them if you want.

                    Try and trim some of the guff from your CV. I dont think agents/clients are interested in things like "one month extension offered" etc.

                    Also
                    Try and do

                    Position - Company June '14 - July '14
                    Technicall Skills: X, Y, Z

                    Yours is reading COMPANY (quite large)
                    Date
                    Position

                    Then some stuff

                    And finally the skills used.

                    You need to highlight the skills right at the start of each position because otherwise it just gets lost in all the other words
