Evening,

I was wondering if the PH massive could give me a hand to improve my CV to its best potential. I've currently got it laid out so that it includes the following:

Heading
Full name:_______

Address:..................
.................
.................
.........
D.O.B: _________

Contact number:________

Email address:_________

Education

Previous Schools:________
_________________________

Grades:
_______
________
______
_____
____
_____

Interests:.......................................................
..................................................................


Work experience:....................................................
....................................................................

Is there anything else i need to include?

Could I change the layout?


Regards

Charlie

I'd stick work experience above qualifications. The thing employers most want to know about is that you can do a job. Passing exams is nice, doing a job well is nicer.

that depends entirely on whether he's got any relevant experience.

Take out the dob section, no need for it to be there.

What is it you do?

Move the interests to the bottom. Unless they are very relevant or show something special there should be more than one line of them.
