My girlfriend is coming to the end of her degree and is starting to apply for jobs. She has just asked me to look over her CV as she obviously wants to make it as good as possible, and I have made a few changes but would like a second opinion as to be honest I don't have a lot of experience in this.

She is very open minded with what she wants to do and is currently applying for various graduate schemes in things like HR, but is also looking into social work and other people related jobs.

Any help would be appreciated, especially if you know of any work around Bedfordshire that may be available wink

Hopefully that link comes out ok,

Graduate vacancies at the Ha, very short closing date though unless it's extended due to the computer closedown, after initially working around the dept in different areas ie, finance,hr, major projects they are fasttracked up a couple of grades quickly.

May be worth a quick look

I realise you probably don't want another one to read, but would you mind having a look at mine and letting me know if it's any good?!

Sorry for the thread hijack, OP.

I charge a fair fee for typical executive level CV reviews as they require more time and insight. I discount for fellow PHers of course and apply further discounts for students (as theirs tend to take less technical expertise simply due to reduced experiences). I've PMd you.

Have replied, I wouldn't worry overly about a professional write up. It is useful when you have had half a dozen big roles and you want/need to sort the important bits out, but at graduate level it should be manageable.
