I gained the position I am presently employed in at 60 years of age so the CV must of worked to get me the interview in the first place. Hope this is of some help, Good luck Phil Roberts

Posted By Arran Linton - Smith I think that this occasion would be good opportunity to actually discuss on this forum what makes a good a good CV or not. I believe that there is now a fairly standard format for professional curriculum vitae. My CV has the following sections: Name: Date of birth: Education: Professional qualifications & memberships: Career and experience: (just a short description) Specialist areas of experience: Professional development: Career history (with the most recent job first) Other information (and I do not bother to include hobbies here) In my experience employers will only initially look at the first half of the front page of a CV, which is why it is critical that your key selling points are there. I am simply not a fan of elaborate CVs.

Posted By Joanne March Hello Mark I am not sure if you are a member of IOSH. If you are you can obtain free advice from Neil Jones. Select the following on this website: membership information then benefits of membership and then careers guidance service to see his contact details. I am currently in contact with him to help improve my CV. Hopefully that may help. Best Wishes and Happy New Year. Joanne

Posted By Richard Pigg Mark, Please, please do not put your picture on your CV. Firstly it increases the file size of your CV (not such an issue in these broadband days) but more importantly it deflects attention from the most important part of your CV (your skills) Regards, Richard Pigg Review Health & Safety
