Hello.

I am around for a while now here and i thought i ask you guys to give me some advice about my CV and CL because i am not getting any feedback until now(Recently i started to apply for entry level positions(1st line support, pc repair, etc). Probably i have problems with the above mentioned docs and i am lack of current experience as well.
So anything you see, think, advice.
(Do not need to put it nice i can handle it)
thanks

 

Obviously, the first thing and I mean the very first thing that is going to put someone off, is the format of the entire thing. It is a mess, so that's a small bit of work that will make a big difference.

Secondly, is your language barrier as a Hungarian... I'm not too sure how to approach that.

 

Thank you Ken.
I will change these mistakes, and check the formatting.

The language barrier, unfortunately my mother language is not common here, so i can not take an advantage of it.
The only thing what i can do is improving my English language skill. (i reckon this is a good place to do that)

Thanks the help guys

 

Dear Arroryn

As i said i can handle many things.
But at the moment i do not know how to say thank you.
I can not tell how much i appreciate the help you just gave me.
I reconsider my past and i will correct my mistakes.
I know the language is a very important i will do a research what is the best option for me.
I start work on my CV.
I will give you an update how things going with the CV 1.1
Thanks
Istvan

 

Try and reduce all the HGV jobs into one block. They are not relevant for the work you are looking for and makes it appear as though you change jobs every year.

 

Hi
I wanted to do that but i think that would break the continuity. Or at least i have to reduce the rest as well and leave the chronology and the dates.
I tried that a while ago and it looked like i try to hide something(Am I Paranoid?).

Maybe i should put something like
2006 - 2010 Hgv Driver. Various companies. Delivering goods throughout the South East UK and London.
I do not know. It sounds crap to me
Or

2008 - Present **** Flight Heathrow Ltd
HGV driver
Loading and offloading trucks and aircrafts as part of a team

2006 - 2008 Various companies.
Hgv Driver
Delivering goods throughout the South East UK and London.

 

I havent read the CV, so no comment there, but one trick you can do, is if you are doing the same job (HGV Driver) for various companies, but all through the same agency, then I would put your employer as the agency, and declare that you operated for various companies on behalf of the agency.

 

Oh, and another thing. You need to emphasize that you are multi-lingual - and which languages you speak. Its a major plus point, and in some cases could be the factor that gets you the job: If the employer regularly deals with people in a country speaking your native tongue, then you are a prime candidate to fill that position.

 

Hi.

I can not put them under one agency, because they all different companies. The reason i have changed the job so many times, because i do not like this job at all.(but it pays well)
And here comes the multi-lingual issue.
I have very strong communication skills(in my own language) but i am still driving because i have to learn more English. Which is very hard for a driver, as i sit in the cab all day, or work in very noise environment(airport). I do not even want to talk about the fact: most of my colleagues speak less English than me.
Plus my mother language not really common here so...
I tried to look for language jobs, once a year one come up.
And i would be more happy to deal with English speaking costumers/Users as it would improve my language skills as well.
Thanks the advice anyway

 

"customers" please

 

I'd have thought that would actually be prime learning time, grab some language tapes/cds and off you go. It'll help a lot when the kick ass CV these guys help you produce starts landing you interviews!

 

I agree.
It would be hard to study IT related material while driving but you can definately boost your english skills by using audio study materials.

 

Lol.
Actually i am doing it. But mostly in my my break times. When i am driving i can not really learn.

 

learning off a tape is never even close to real life conversations. It teaches you to speak, but rather properly to listen, or interact. If the sound byte isnt delivered exactly as it was on the tape, the meaning is lost (certainly to me). Its much better to interact as much as possible.

I'd still include the language in your CV. Perhaps not actively seek a job doing that language (since you want an English language job), but its definately a plus point.
