reminds me of a story, I have no idea if this is true.

A medium sized country pub, the landlord installed a little cherub in the ladies, with a fig-leaf on a hinge over his little winkie.
The fig leaf was connected to a bell that rang in the bar when the fig leaf was raised......



:rolleyes:

Used to be a club in London that had that. The best one was in Aberdeen that had little video screens in the urinals which had pictures of people so you could widdle on their faces. It wasn't uncommon to see a few mother in laws there...
 
First page: Personal - i.e. name, where resident (no address), telephone/fax/mobile/e-mail, work location and miscellaneous (I have professional certifications and titles I have authored)

Second page: Profile Summary - a one page summary of what I do and know including a selection of software/OS'es/applications that I know with years of experience

Third page up until page eight - summary of all jobs and contracts held with details of software used, tasks and for what type of company and where (no company names) getting progressively smaller as the years go back

Seems to work for me in 9/10 cases (and don't forget many agencies will just pull the relevant information out and put into their template)
