Seriously, you could change your job descriptions to someone's Greek holiday travel diary and the agent would never have a clue.

Clients, dates, core tech and location is all they are interested in. If you wish to hide that in a pile of "and after that project I moved team, just down the corridor to work with another group and they had nicer wallpaper" then you are confusing them.

That's a gross over simplification IMO.

As I said, if it works for you, fine. I dont think it would work for 80% of contractors though.

I'm currently rewriting my CV after being continually in work for a decade (I'm out of my current contract in two weeks). I was planning on using past tense throughout and avoid the use of "I" (as in "I did") tending towards the third person. What do others do?
