CV six years out of date.

[MarillionFan]

Just add these lines to your experience section:

2010-2016 Permanent Wage Slave

* Spent every hour of every day working for my employer
* Grew fat on crappy hotel food and lack of exercise due to spending all my hours in airports
* Work consisted of so much BS I've lost any skills I had
* Looking for anything at all in desperation.

Simples.

Thanks. Put that, and got an interview as your new boss later tomorrow.

Never more than a few months. My CV is important to me - even if in role and relatively secure. I like to know I have it ready to send to someone if required; even if for speculative purposes (or 'networking', ugh).


Cos I'm a contractor, not a perm. Like you were.


Or a perm in disguise. Like you were.

Similar. As soon as I have achievements at my current clientco that make the cv worth updating, it gets updated. So, yeah, not changed it for four years

PM Suity.

He has had plenty of practice with CVs.
He may just have time to turn yours around, when he isn't saving the world

Just fired up my old contracting machine to get a CV and it's so slow, now having to performance tune the whole thing first.


Sheesh.

Excellent - you can add performance tuning to your CV.

Oh bugger.

Looks like I haven't needed one since 2010, having done a two year contract, then a 4.5 year contract to perm where I got hired by an old boss.

What a faff. What's the longest you've had between updating a CV?

Me too. Been at the last couple of gigs since 2011, and starting back at the previous clientco at the end of this month.

Get someone to do it for you. If you haven't already, attend one of the CV and interview advisers webinars.

Isn't that more you need a new CV....
