| Quote: McLaren_Field "Anyway - seriously now...
I'm writing a CV for my wife, I had to sack her last week, now I'm writing her CV for her, and yes, I am being serious now.
So are all these "CV Templates" that you download for free from the net any good or do interviewers just look at them and throw them in the bin ?
I've never written a CV before, the last time I went for a job you circled an advert in the Evening Post, rang the company from a phone box and they said "come and see us", I got the first job I was interviewed for, those were the good old days see, 1974, full employment and all that...'"
Rule of thumb – short and sweet, 2 pages Max.
Set it out with the important stuff first –
Profile – a couple of paragraphs selling your self
Key Skills (tailor them to match the job don’t have a generic CV), bullet points 6 to 7 tops
Pervious experience – again keep this relevant, they don’t want to know that you spent 6 months as a brickies mate if you’re going for a job as a bus driver.
The Education bit – only list qualifications, prospective employers really aren’t bothered which primary school you when to.
A couple of lines of Person details and a couple of Hobbies/Interests
CV’s aren’t fully read, they’re just the ticket to the interview, a crap layout will land your CV directly in the bin without it even being read.

| The difference between there and here is that it is not lawful to request (or evaluate someone from) a picture on their cv. Is that correct? I assume that's why HR always take them out. So I suspect the answer should be no — unless you look like Brad Pitt or something then the tart in HR might recommend an interview just so she can see you in the flesh. Foot in the door etc.
The problem here is everyone attaches a picture and for some reason Asians are eminently photogenic so what you usually see on the cv looks like this
but in reality when it comes to the interview it is invariably
I don't think they mean to misrepresent themselves but I do realise there is something of a counterfeit culture here.

It's not that funny if you have to deal with high staff turn-over, trust me. Not to mention the disappointment factor.

Looks like a work environment I want to be part of.
See you in the basement next week lad, I'll be sat near the 'down'.

Come for the interview (We can chat and drink vodka) and you can start next week once the lift if fixed. Deal?

You're on 3 times the minimum wage, how does that sound?

Throw in a company scooter and Juice Terry's stress ball and we have a deal.

The scooter's yours. But nothing of Juices gets touched. He's the top dog along with me. Shared company. And I'm doing you a massive favor by taking you on. He wasn't so sure. You'll have to impress him.
(Buy him some yoggies from Moggies, the ones with the toy aliens in and you'll get his blessing.)

He's still recovering from the bear attack. They got him big style. We'll find out once he's made a full recovery.
We're thinking of starting up a food business. We've been throwing names for the joint about. How does 'Juice Up My Wheels And Bang It In' sound?
Theres a certain ring to it...
