Some don't like using bullet points. I don't use them and my CV attracts much interest and I've been told time and time again that it's a 9/10 if not 10/10 CV.

If you're a PM then my personal opinion is that there should be explanation paragraphs rather than bulleted points to explain what you did (more of a consultancy style).

If however you're a Developer / Support Person / Technical, then due to the 'skill-setted' nature of your work, bullet points can be and are in general much better for the agent / potential client / PM to skim through.

Sigh.....

Try using the Search button...

PS.

For those too dim to twig - clicking on the highlight word "Search" above will take you to a detailed thread (created only a few days ago) that asks about CV creation companies with loads of advice.

Try clicking on it and see.

CV's

I'm new to Contractor UK so apologies if I come across a little 'DIM'.....

Quick quesion regarding CV's, I work in IT Support Management including a little bit of PM, however - I always thought my CV was professional, layed out in the standard IT way and kept within the recomended 2 page limit including bullet points etc.

After applying for many jobs, not just local but global, I don't seem to be getting many 'bites' from any of the applications, this makes me wonder if its my CV since I have a lot of experience for the roles I'm applying for.

I've never dreamed of 'paying' someone to review my CV but now I am starting to wonder - basically I'm looking for a bit of advice from the people on here and if they have paid for this service in order to gain the best possible outcome from a CV.

Cheers
Steve
