    I thinks it best to keep it nice and short because most employers receive loads of CV's so propbably wont bother spending too much time on each CV they receive

    I think you're covered most of the mportant things but if you wanna add more things, how about listing any other languages you speak, and stating you have a (clean) driving licence if you do, as some employers like this

    Im applying for pretty much anything at the moment. Been working in an office for about a year and the day really drags when u got ppl around u that dont talk. They just sit there doing work, and they cannot hold a conversation. The worst thing is u cant even listen to ur own music which takes the mickie!!! lol. I stopped working at my last job a couple of days ago. Just looking for a change. Just want to do as many hours as i can so i can earn as much money as i can. Its the summer hols, n its almost raining everyday in the UK; which doesnt make u want to go out anywhere... so u might as well work and make some money.

    I think ive finished my CV now, just need to create a good covering letter to go with the jobs i apply 4. Thanks everyone again for the tips.

    In an organisation a manager can recieve over 100 CV's for a post, how do you think he or she gets though all the CV'S ?
    Well, these managers reallydon't have the time to coz they have their own demanding jobs to do, so this is what they really do:-
    Good manager
    1/ in 5 seconds scan through your CV, looking for impressive descriptions and content of CV, bin the un-impressed one.
    2/ when condensed the CV's down to smaller number, then spend longer reading through to pick out suitable candidates
    3/ once the Cv numbers are down o approx 10, then they will seriourly think about calling you for interview.

    Bad manager
    Will do same as above. BUT STEP 1, HE OR SHE WILL BIN 50% OF CV WITHOUT READING

    So for important contents for CV.
    1/ content - include all vital info, do not hide anything
    2/ Quality - NOT quantity
    3/ presentation - Paper type, font, writing style etc.
