CV Help? :)

I'll upload mine later, IMHO CVS are rediculously important, but its not just the CV that will get you the job, its the whole package, just shoving a CV in doesn't give them anything to relate to... Go down to the company, show your face, give a good firm handshake, give the man who will be deciding who gets the job a reason to remember you... It sounds costly, but every time I send a CV in I do it, print it on DECENT paper, not tescos 1.99 pack of paper, get some proper Conquerer paper, stick it in a proper document wallet... When they sift through CVs, they'll look at yours in a proper nice document holder, that just feels expensive, presented nicely, on good paper, and remember that you were the guy dressed smartly, who came in, made the effort... It may not get you the job, but if its the difference between.getting it and not... It's 1000% worth it... I hear people going I stuck 100 CVs in last week... I can't help but think they're not doing it properly, and no one is noticing them...

Doesnt matter if you're going for a sainsburys job or cleaning the bogs, its about standing out and getting your foot in the door.... Even if the application is online, do it anyway, say you've applied online, here's my CV anyway, I'm blahdeblah...

Worked quite well for.me in the past...
