        Now that I am >50, I am careful that nothing on the CV allows anyone to calculate my age with any certainty. The CV stops at 1990.
        sound advice - keep 'em guessing unless you suspect they are actually looking for a mature candidate.

            You should say we. How many times has the queen had a CV been turned down?

                Over the years I have ping-ponged between these styles:

                'Rajiv spent six months doing this and that....'
                'He spent six months doing this and that....'
                'I spent six months doing this and that...'

                All advice and silly repllies welcomed
                Why use any names or pronouns?

                Make it sound like a diary "spent six months doing this and that..."
