    Searching for CVs on Google

    I am currently updating my CV. I wanted to look at layouts of other people's. I remember reading on here once something you could type into google and it would bring up results of just CVs in doc format, can anyone tell me the command?

      Or maybe click on the bit that says "advanced search"?

      ...there goes the next head of IBM.
      Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God? - Epicurus

        I see that the consensual reports in the press on the decline of education in this country are not overblown.

          Hey, give the OP credit where it's due !

          Most newly-qualified graduates are too arrogant to ask because they know everything anyway.

          At least he/she made the effort !
          Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

            Thanks for all your help. There was a different command though which is what I am trying to remember, it certainly wasn't just typing .doc

                  real

                  Geez... these grads. ;-).

                  To answer your question... when you get the type of responses you have received in this thread.... the chances are you won't get an answer you want.
                  If your company is the best place to work in, for a mere £500 p/d, you can advertise here.

                    No although I was prompted to do a bit of research on your behalf. I can find no reference at all to the "command" you refer to and I therefore conclude that you are mistaken or have misunderstood.
