i would prefer you use dot points instead of paragraphs. ATOT back me up but paragraphs are a no-go.

fix it up and i'll look at the finer stuff tomorrow.

 

[xchangx]

Definately use bullet points. If someone sent this to me, I'd throw it out when I saw the first paragraph.

CV?

Your what?

 

[Rockinacoustic]

Hopefully that isn't your real contact info, or grades.

Definitely go with bullet points. Whittle down the wordiness in the LT Skills, Employment History, and Personal Qualities sections (this last area could likely be included in a cover letter if requested, rather than in the CV itself, although that's at your discretion).

Also, I truly doubt it's necessary to include high school course work and the actual letter grades for individual curriculum areas. Simply including a line stating that you received your high school diploma should likely be enough.

All in all, I'd say you could likely compress the whole document to one page while still including roughly the same amount of pertinent information.

Edit: Although the above advice should be taken with a grain of salt, depending upon for what circumstances you're planning on using the CV. I know that in my field, your education and employment histories generally receive a page or two at most, including doctorate-level studies and professional accreditation. Everything else is reserved for talks, presentations, and publications.

10/10 would read again. I mostly enjoyed the possessive form of CPU, the F received in French, and also the Referees at the bottom.

FYI:

Take your PERSONAL DETAILS OUT OF THAT CV FOR THE SAKE OF MASS PEER REVIEW.

Also, I'd like to know where I can get a VMWare Suit. That would own, hard.

holy straight to trash

that's not a cv, that's a mini bio.

cv's are reserved for experienced academics with extensive work and research background or experienced professionals with highly technical experience

So now we have your name, you home phone, your mobile phone, your email, where you went, and referrals...

now all we need is a Social Security # (Ie; National Insurance #) and we are good to go.

edit:
