anyone willing to help with CV??
Discussion
hi guys
im currently looking for work of any description and dont seem to be getting a great deal in the way of responses from my CV and covering letters to various employers.
im guessing that perhaps my cv needs work, and was wondering if there are any people who do this sort of thing for a living that would be willing to assist me and take a look at my CV and see where improvements could be made.
cheers in advance

There are so many tools online to help you write your CV, and even some free sites that will take all information and input it into which ever format you choose.
Try to remember, it isn't necessarily the layout of your CV that will get you through the door. Its the content that you include and the way that it is written that will highlight you to potential employers. I've had the same CV format since I applied for my first job. Nice and simple, no fancy floral fonts or pretty double-bordered boxes etc. Mine is clean, concise, bold where it is appropriate and most of all, contains all the information an employer would need in a simple format.
Think about what the important elements are, your career achievements, a well written summary of your character, your educational experience broken down so an employer can find exactly what they want quickly and easily.
If you get yourself in the mindset of the hiring manager, they receive a huge number of CVs for each role. At first glance, they won't be spending half hour meticulously reading through every one. They will scan, for key information, the criteria they feel will meet the role objectives. Hence why keeping it simple and well structured is key.
I'm no expert, but have had positive feedback when accepting roles on CV clarity and would be happy to help anyone else that may be having difficulties.
