Hello all, well I did a big change to my CV and seems to have attracted a bit more interest, which is always good (Although only from recruitment agencys )

Was wondering is there any thing else I could do that would make me "stand out."

If I have posted in the wrong section I do appologize.

Please find my CV below ( better than the last one I think! )

Criticism welcome ^_^

 

Thanks mate that sounds better

 

It's good.. maybe a tad wordy but good.

Feedback is one word

 

Woops :P Thanks :P
Do you think I should try and shorten it a bit?

 

Hmm, it's hard to say as it's just 'my opinion', I have read hundreds of Cvs in the past and they all differ. Also i am not a CV writing expert, so, lets see what the others think.

 

Well I heard back from one company "You do not have the relevent skills for this position" so kinda a start

Just found out im getting made redundant next week.
Yay

 

It looks good, its just wording problems. I spotted this one

"to work well either individually, or as a team"

Should be something like "to work well either individually, or as part of a team"

 

Well I have been contacted by a agency in regards to a 3 month contract in a helpdesk position. They think I will be ideal for the role. I explained to them although I have some experience, it is not my main role currently. They said I seem to have the knowledge and have asked me to bulk up my help desk features on my CV. Now I don’t want to lie. I do act like a help desk so much that it is rare that our IT department is contacted because of me. I just don’t know what else to put. Thinking what I do I go kind of blank. Any idea’s on what else I could add to “bulk” up my CV a bit?

 

An agency will tend to do that as they get commision if they place you!

However, it might get you a job but remember agencies just want one thing & that's a commision.

 

I would reword this one mate

"Due to staffing in the office I did no longer do any paper work admin and soon got promoted to Recruitment Consultant and I still had to be available to offer on site PC help."

 

I don't have a great deal of experience writing CV's, but I DO have a fair amount of experience in copywriting. I think that you've listed some great information - your main strengths and competencies are certainly pushed to the fore - but the delivery is a little cumbersome. If you can wait until the weekend I'd be happy to help you tidy it up a little
