...although I wouldn't mind an expert's opinion on it. So please leave a comment if you would like to take a look. Beware! I wrote that down myself from scratch, so some amendments might be in order :) On topic, While surfing through the pages of this forum and reading posts on CV advice, I found some rather interesting points I would like to address and hopefully get some feedback. i) Many have noted that in a CV one should mention that you have self-funded training or degree. Do you think this is a good idea? Cause I have self-funded everything up to now such as MSc and Lead auditor certs! How would you address this? ii) I consider a proper LinkedIn profile as a good CV or a good way to show that you are up-to-date with the recent curves. I see many names with chuchu train letters after them stating their qualifications. Do you think that this is a good idea to include in a CV or a professional profile? MEng MSc GradIOSH, seems a lot to me. But then again, does it help? iii) Transferable, soft skills. It seems to me that even though every single job post have people's/soft skills as requirement, they attract little attention. A quick answer might be 'well, everyone is including them in a CV'. Furthermore, it has been noted that my previous experience in other sectors and having less involvement with H&S (I'm adding quality and environmental here as I do have the qualifications as well) does not 'qualify' enough for transferable skills/soft skills. I know that the obvious and realistic answer is "of course they do", but it doesn't seem to receive major attention while interviewing or even worse, when having internal CPD/PDP. How do you work around it? iv) Further personal studies. I'm a bookworm and I like to be up-to-date within the H&S sector. Is it a good idea to highlight within a CV certain reads? For example, I recently bought CDM Regulations 2015 Explained by Raymond Joyce and I found it to be an amazing read, maybe better than a one or two day seminar on the Regs. I haven't had the chance to work on CDM Regulations in the past but I am really looking forward to it, should the chance appears. How do I promote this within the basis of a CV? Last but not least, how do you even contain all this information within two pages or how do you point these topics out when having a telephone/face to face interview if the relevant question is not asked? Thanks for your attention. Mr. C

Something I forgot to mention: I am looking for junior/entry lvl roles that (to my belief) my skills and experience would suffice.

I am one who puts I have self funded my qualifications. I have not been in the industry for very long- but almost every interview I have had have referenced they liked the fact I put I self funded my qualifications to get into the industry. I just put a note next to the qualification on my CV saying self-funded. I also place my post nominals- because I am proud of them, not because they are big or clever. Its down to each person what they have on their CV, there is no real right or wrong way
