Looking to update my CV ready for the worst, Has anyone got a template they'd be happy to share? I work in the engineering/defense industry if that makes a difference.
Cheers

Firstly decide what is the best type of cv to sell what you can do for an employer, [url= http://www.totaljobs.com/Content/CVs_and_job_applications/Cv-templates.html ]examples[/url].

Write as much as you can even if it's very long, THEN EDIT. CVs I submitted were 2 pages long and each is matched to the job description. I found the read aloud function in Abode Reader useful for spotting spelling and grammer mistakes!

I can recommend these people www.yourcv.co.uk

I realise its a cost, but I was getting nowhere finding a new job and was recommended them by a recruitment chap who wanted to submit me for Director role - which (hopefully) is going well.

They've done a really good job; its difficult trying to get 20+ years of experience onto 2 pages.

Tiboy - just wondering how you got on with this - did you use the yourcv service or go another way? I'm re-vamping my CV at the mo and am struggling to get it feeling right, so am thinking of using someone like them.

I used the one on the Job Centre Plus website.
It worked for me. 🙂
