Hi All,

I am currently working as the UK Head of Accounting (i'm an accountant). My role is coming to an end in Q1 2016 as the UK operations are closing down.

I have submitted my CV to quite a few jobs, via consultants, but I am not getting much traction.

I would appreciate if someone with experience could critic my CV. I would be extremely grateful!

Thank you.

There's not much point - you should tailor your CV to the job you're applying for. If you write down stuff that has no relevance then you're just wasting time.

Linkedin seems to be almost as important as the CV these days. Get some help building an "all star" profile and you may well find the job finds you.

Remember your CV is a sales document and needs to focus on what you've achieved. If it just lists your responsibilities, you may find yourself overlooked.
