Writing a CV/Jobhunting

[Kimmie]

Pretty much what everyone else has said is spot on really. If you have any qualifications, it's good to put something like 'copies available upon request' and take them to an interview with you. Again to save space, you could put 'references available upon request' rather than listing them.

I'm currently going through CVs for a cleaner- if you're going for a similar role then keep the CV short and sweet, with all necessary training. Really, they won't want a huge amount of personal detail or all your GSCE grades listed as it's not required for the role (sounds harsh but it's true).

Cleaning manager however- they'll want to know all training details & dates, all areas of expertise etc. Also be able to back up ANYTHING you put in your CV with examples- so if you say you're a team player or a great problem solver, be prepared to give them an example of time when you solved a problem.

As Scott said, always ensure your dates are correct and if you have any gaps in your employment history you need to explain why, for example to do voluntary work or go back to school. They will get picked up and they will be questioned as gaps in employment history can look bad.
