Help Needed With C.V.

I need to get a new C.V. written, and emailed off for a job interview. Unfortunately I cant find my hardcopy on floppy, and it's been so long since I wrote a new C.V. that I cant remember the format.

So if anyone on here can help with the basic format I'd really appreciate the advice.

Many thanks in advance.

Hi

there is a guide in this link

- what I have found interesting was googling on 'curriculum vitae' - loads of people seem to have uploaded their CV's. If nothing else it's a way of seeing how other people have done it, as a way of picking out the best features.

Might be something here of use:

My CV is on my homepage if you want to see how I've done it - not necessarily the best example though

Depending on your age / qualifications etc you can reverse the order
employment history
qualifications
schooling

If that better reflects the basis on which you are applying. I.e. your experience is more important than your A levels / degree. Also depending on the quality of your schooling you can shrink this into say

A Levels - English B, French C, Physics B
GCSEs - 8 including Maths B and English B (good format if the rest are Home Ec, Social Studies and other subjects considered less useful by eers).

Here is mine if you're interested. I'll be pulling it off in a few days because I don't like it floating around.

Casper - great links, thanks mate, now stored in favourites.

Jerreck- Impressive C.V., good luck with the studies.

Thanks to everyone who took time to post, you're help has been invaluable.
