C.V. (Curriculum Vitae) Help Required?
Hello.
Unfortunately, I was made redundant this morning and now need to produce a C.V. to get back hunting for a job as soon as possible. The problem is, I haven't produced a C.V. for at least 7 years so am way out of touch.
If someone can take a few moments to have a look over what I have manage to produce so far I would be extremely grateful for any constructive comments and advice as I appreciate it is a little rough. (Please Note: The layout has changed pasting it here and some information – personal details, employers names, etc have been removed but I intent on using them).
Thanks very much
