Is this a good CV?

Sorry but I don't think your CV is a good one to follow as a guide... No offense, but a few things need fixing.

I don't think your CV is very good. Sorry. Take a look at mine, compare it. Use one font. Make sure your personal statement is at the top as well. Most employers only take on staff members if there personal statement is top notch. Nower days, qualifications arn't really the main aspects.

Have a look at my CV. I've removed some information for confidentiality. The format is different to my actual CV because I've just copied and pasted it.

Sangreal,
My CV was awarded A* for an assignment with college. It was looked over by the college employment team and also some parts added by private employment firm. But eh, what do they know!

I'm going to agree, use one font, proper formatting and generally clean it up.

Thats nice to know. But if its so perfect, why can I pick so any flaws? Im not trying to be harsh. I'm just saying, its not the bets CV to use as a Demo.

I know your not trying to be rude or harsh. But there industry professionals so... But anyway. Back on topic. You need to make your cv plain and simple. Add as much information as possible. pay extra attention to the personal statement.

[Charlottay!]

My CV doesnt contain my personal statement. thats on seperate thing.

My CV doesnt really have many sentences just has the information needed and i made mine based on a proper example from a job site.

you wont get anywhere handing a CV in at asda. You have to fill in an application form, and the application form is based on appearance of writing aswell as well as ticking the correct boxes. If you look at the application form itself i has little circles next to each question, thats so they can tick it or not, and then they add up your ticks and if you dont get a certain amount it gets binned. O and btw, if you didnt tear off the panel on the application form which it instructs you to do, they dont even bother looking at it, it will go straight in the bin. I know this because my uncle is head boss in a local store.

as for your CV, its pretty bog standard. well organised, on time... blah blah blah, its all a bit boring. If your applying for a job, employers EXPECT all of that.

@bewilcorp, you should try and keep your CV factual. "I believe" is opinion, and you seem to have used that phrase far too many times within your personal statement. Its unproffesional to write in note format or to use words that are shortened, so your "hobbies and interests" section should paragraphed. Where you have listed your schools, they should be in an alternative format, so that it is easier on the eye.

Well then your asda clearly doesnt stick to the rules set by head office. Unless thier is a short supply of application forms.
