Chaps,
I am approaching the end of a long and successful career in the Armed Forces. As I approach resettlement there is plenty of help available, but I'd really value a commercially-minded opinion of my first attempt at a CV.

I realise that there are pretty frequent requests for help of this nature so won't be at all offended if I'm given a stiff ignoring, but I'd very much appreciate views.

If anyone is prepared to cast an eye over it for me, I'll PM it to you. I'm not absolutely sure of what I'll be pitching for, but I do want a grown-up and well-rewarded leadership role. I'm flexible on location and am likely to move to the job rather than fix myself geographically.

Obviously I can provide more detail by message if required, but in the first instance a sense of whether or not I'm on the right lines would be very helpful. Any takers please?

Thanks for the offers so far. I've messaged those that offered seeking e-mail addresses to send it to, unless there's a clever way to add attachments to PMs?

Thank you to all that have assisted, directly or otherwise. I have learned a lot already and very much appreciate the time taken to give me positive steers.

It has been really interesting to get outside views on such a personal, albeit immature, product and I've learned a lot. There is, clearly, some way to go yet but the support freely offered by people that don't know me and have no vested interest in helping has been rather heart-warming. Thanks again.
