Eggs a bit too close to the beans, I might want to mix them but I want that to be my decision. Use a sausage as a breakwater.

Otherwise 16/25....

Lots of companies publish their prospectus, portfolio or whatever in the third person. Is it not ok to act like a business now?

[kaiser78]

These people offer CV review service.

Has anyone any experience of using these and much cop ?

[captainham]

I absolutely hate third person CV's, whenever I'ma sked to review one I dispose of them immediately and even worse is when they write in the third person on Linkedin about themselves

captainham agrees with your comments; he also feels the same on this topic.

although captainham may now consider posting all future forum comments in the third person.

I agree about Linkedin profiles in third person, those should be done in first person only.

I saw one the other day that looked like the person didn't even write it themself, it was like this: "Dave is an enthusiastic, articulate person. He specialises in...." lol doesn't sound right at all, also my CV isn't like that I don't mention my name like that in my CV.

I received one similar to this, and I couldn't stop laughing when they mentioned it needs to be in third person, when it already is.

I wonder how they would score a CV that they themselves had previously done then found somewhere with the name changed

Nice one, Cyril! Perhaps some sucker that has already paid this company for a "review" could help us out and re-submit the C.V. the company has "re-written" for them.

But I doubt that they ever actually read any.

They are even spamming the Hungarians...

Bearing in mind the advert comments about number of applicants per job has risen in the last 12 months and this hasn't been changed in the 18 months this mail has been circulating aren't they breaking some rules? Just out of interest like....

What do you expect dude? There is no such thing as free CV review.
They would never say that your CV is good enough even if it is. It's all about convincing you that you need thier paid services.

You can find zillions of good CV templates on the net, if I were you, I wouldn't waste money on this...

I think you will find he was identifying an unsolicited advert based on a bovine excremental "review" of a CV they hadn't even looked at and had the credibility of a stage mind readers act..... Dude?

[nomadd]

I scored 101/100 when they reviewed my c.v.

I just don't think any of you are cut out for the world of contracting.

Have they bought the Saga mailing list?

"Advanced Senior" package. Sounds like something you'd get from a care home.

If they can't customise a mass-mailing spam email then I dread to think what they'd do to my perfectly innocent CV.

[Eirikur]

I've just searched my email and found that I had one from them last year. The score and wording are EXACTLY the same as the score and wording that you have posted here.

They haven't looked at the CV at all, it's just a standard spam email. Unless, of course, you've stolen my CV or I've stolen yours.

Yes same here, got one from them as well, exact the same wording
