I have made a CV/Resume (download below), just wondering if there is anything else I could put onto it and if it is well laid out Smile (I have starred out personal info Smile )

We call this a resume (Pronounced res um ay) In the US. It doesn't look too bad.

Good first CV... There are a few that you could change, to improve your chances of being selected, for the interview and whilst in an interview, a strong CV can also be a great thing for you to refer to. Smile

You'll definitely need to include that there are referees available on request, or actually include contact details of at least to professionals that would be able to 'vouch' for you. (Sorry if you have, and have removed them for privacy purposes.)

You could elaborate on your 'Attributes' section, and make the points less general and more relevant to the skills you believe that you have. Especially if you believe they distinguish you from others.

Finally, you could also add an 'Overview' at the beginning stating, what kind of work you are looking for...

Oh, and possibly add a bit of formatting. Smile

Hope this helps. Winky Winky Good look job hunting.
