    cost appr 250.00 pound back then but got a good chap who called me back and really went into alot of detail extracting info from me that was not on the CV ( i was trying to keep it short); he managed to get it to 3 pages and i did get gig shortly after.
    agency was Fuller CV, don't know if they are still as good

    Thanks! I'll certainly look into them... they currently say that their prices are in the range £159.00 - £980.00... If they could establish a document that satisfies me, I'd be happy to pay £250. Part of the problem is that I'm looking to use the CV to "go fishing" - so I don't have a specific post to which it can be targeted... at least not at this stage.

    I'm currently at ~2.5 pages - though the only consistent criticism I've elicited from trusted people is that it is too dense. I've an extra year's worth of stuff to add... and I've spent many hours removing dead-wood... but frequently find I either loose depth or suffer by appearing overly detailed. The happy medium is tricky.
