update my CV

By the time I had my shizzle together, the job description was taken off the intranet website. Well, at least I’ll be prepared if something else comes up. If. Still haven’t braced myself to tell my boss that I missed the opportunity to get out of her team, as she so badly desires.

I updated my CV I used 3 years ago and translated it into English. I also tailored it to the job I want to go for right now. I still need a cover letter and by this time on Wednesday, I will have applied for the open position in my company I want to change to.

I really need the income as soon as possible. I might just apply EVERYWHERE and see what happens hahaha.

I really want to work at Marks and Spencer’s in the Metrocentre, i spent two days bagpacking there and made loads of geet contacts :)

and the people are class hahaha =]

While this is a good thing to do, it’s not really important or exciting to me at the moment so I’m letting it go.

I’v tinkered with the idea, since my current CV is all over the place.

There’s not much organisation and tbh, i could do with lot more.

Should I use a template or should I keep my CV very unique and personal…but organise it more?

i got a call on friday so i was meant to drop my Cv there i did so on saturday and now its in my email box and it will be there updated in case of anything and im in town i wont need to go back home to start looking all over for it.

Another big thing off the to-do list, all so I can put more on the ‘done that’ list.

Right, after updating my CV what felt like a hundred and one times, I’m now finally in a great job that hopefully I won’t be leaving anytime soon! It was good at what it did, but thank goodness I don’t have to look at it again in the forseeable future – I’m sick of the sight of it! You know when you’ve read the same document over and over and over… and it fails to make sense anymore? Yeah I’d reached that with my CV. Still, success! Woop!

..it’s done.

The problem is that I’m finally “of a certain age” where the standard one-page limit really doesn’t work for today’s
“multiple career, new job every 2-3 years” profile.

It’s done though, coming in at about 1.5 pages, and no fluff!

Got a friend to look it over, was expecting a couple of suggestions and actually got a total cv overhaul. I’d described what i do in very basic terms, and she added the sparkle so that i was actually selling myself. I kinda feel like it’s cheating to use it though cause it’s not all my own work! Oh well, just gotta get it out there and looked at now!
