    What is it with some recruiters? Ten pages isn't that long, and just because I last used a skill back in 2000 doesn't mean I couldn't pick it up again in no time.
    18-24 year olds have short attention spans and some of them have trouble reading.

      Which is good. Perhaps I should pay you for doing my CV!!! ;-)

      I'm just thinking I'm not getting as many replies to CV applications as I should be.....

        Sometimes it needs a little jazzing up and I am in no way saying stretch the truth, what I used find is that I truly didn't appreciate what I did in roles and therefore didn't put much down initially on my CV when updating it. When I thought really long and hard about it I then came to realise I actually did a fair bit that only a small % in my field can do and I made sure it was evidenced properly on my CV and it seems to have done the trick.

        As for paying me, there'd be no charge unless you're English
