Writing a CV/Jobhunting

[bigcheez2k3]

Thanks for your help guys, Dicky's one was very useful. Have some more done and will continue tonight after working on the car.

Dum Dum - Whilst that might work I'd actually avoid putting too much effort into it. It's referred to as a 'personal statement'.

A lot of it can be put in your covering letter and the last thing you want to do is repeat yourself. 'Bigging' yourself up is great, but an employer doesn't want to see some hashed-together copy-paste bullshit from the internet. A CV needs to read like a fact-file on that person and not a soppy attempt at brown-nosing before you even have the job.

What kind of industry is the OP trying to get into?

I want to get into IT. I have some experience and a qualification in it but that didn't seem to get me anywhere over the last few year. However I'd be happy with something that pays a normal amount with normal hours for now so I could get the money to pay for a Microsoft qualification. Currently, when I am working, I do evenings and weekends which is bullshit.
