Sorry 5*, you're reading the 8 pager. I did mention this was trimmed to 2 pages and does incorporate the changes you suggest.Originally posted by FiveTimes View PostSY - 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
I can send you the 2 pager if you PM me, if you like.

Also if you trim off the really old stuff, it makes you look younger and hence more chance to get an interviewOriginally posted by suityou01 View PostEr no Ted. Past 18 months is verbose ish then it goes one liners for a couple of years then just names and dates after that.Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.
No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.Comment
