I also find that if you have a friend or neighbour who is in HR to glance over. These websites are okay but you will find what one company likes layout-wise another doesn't!!! Its not foolproof, but gives a good idea. I was always told no longer than 2 pages of A4, short and sweet and allow the person interviewing you to ask you more questions from it. Two different colleagues gave two different sets of advice so in the end I did a bit from one and a bit from the other and that worked!!!

Thanks all, I will look at the websites, but as i'm out of practice, human input was what i was after too.

On the Totaljobs website, there is a link to a company called FullerCV.
They will critique your CV for free, and if you want them to re-word it for you, they will charge. Not sure how much but you should be able to find the detail on their website.
Good luck with the job hunt.

Try NextStep, Bishop's Stortford or Waltham Cross. I had help and advice from the Bishop's Stortford branch, they were excellent, and it's free! Just give them a call and book a time.

I know someone in Hertford who could help and she also coaches interview techniques. It worked for me. I can send you her details if I can find.

Perhaps I shouldn't advertise myself on here but I'm happy to give Mrs T's CV a free look over and comment. I've been in HR for nearly 40 years and have seen a few CVs....
