Morning All,
I am seeking some advise on completing my CV, the organisation that has requested it want it to outline my health and safety career. Do any other users have advise on what to include and how to set it out?

Hi NJS, if the organisation is a recruitment agency, they can (and should) advise.
Most authorities suggest that a CV should not exceed 2 pages. Mine starts with address and contact details, followed by a Summary of me (achievements, strengths, experience and qualifications), a listing of my career in chronological order, starting from current role, then qualifications and education and training.
A CV should always be tailored for the specific circumstances it is needed e.g. for a potential job in construction, major on your acheivements etc in that sector. If a job advert or spec has essential requirements in a candidate, make sure you highlight these (if you have them).
Get help to proof read and ensure that there are neither spelling nor grammatical errors.

Hi NJS
Would fully support what is said above and add that many managers going through the recruitment process are not professional recruiters and may have considerable time restraints. CV should definitely be no more than 2 pages but the first page is most important. Ensure you get across on that page all the main points that will make them interested in you.
Good luck
