Try a reboot.

Thanks.

Thank you all for your suggestions! Quite surprised to see that quickly such a number of responses!
I didn't know about the CV review service, I guess it is worth a try!

I have searched on google previously, but to be honest, I was expecting to find more "contractor" style CVs.
Most of them look a bit for indicated for permanent positions IMHO.

We operate very quickly on this forum.

Some more than others.

Glad you have noticed

We are all very helpful on this forum. Why not copy and paste your CV here and we can advise what changes are needed?

I have never heard about them before, thank you!
I guess they are miles better than Nigel Frank

Do you work with NAV too?

Your CV needs to contain:-

What you've actually delivered
Who you actually delivered it for.

Speak to Cognitive group (a Dynamics recruitment consultancy) I'm sure they can give you some pointers...

Good luck as I believe the NAV roadmap is interesting....

I'm sure contractoruk had a webcast or something on CV writing. I missed it.

Hi!
I am an ERP (Microsoft Dynamics NAV) technical consultant/developer and I am relatively new in the contract business.
I am in the middle of re-writing my CV to make it more "contract" like.
It would help me a lot to see a couple of examples of CVs to understand what details I should focus on.
If there is anyone OK to send me his CV through (feel free to remove any personal/client details of course!) so I can have an idea, I would really appreciate it!

Thanks!

Contractor CV review - why get your CV reviewed? :: Contractor UK - Think the people on this article might do a free cv review and do lots in the contractor market.

Personally, I just setup a ficticious agency and post fake jobs on various sites. I call it NLUK recruitment limited, just in case.....

I think this is a new twist of CV farming. Fake job ads take time so why not get it straight from the source...

I'm out.

Just in case I'm wrong...

OP.. Type the following in to google and do some reading. We've discussed CV's ad infinitum.
