    I'd be interested in this service too
    No huge hurry, but I need my cv done and printed
    How much would this cost for probably 15 mins work?

    Don't waste your money. Write it up, 2 pages max, don't fold it, into a large envelope, job done.

    Most of those things don't get more than a few seconds of a look. Nobody pays attention to nice covers etc on CV's

    Seriously, save your money. The content is what is important.

    Lots of guides around the net (I don't know anyone anywhere in town).

    Europass template is the EU standard if you google that.

    Don't pay. Waste of money...in fact, if you have skills are somewhat sought after, you could actually play it in such a way that a recruitment agent can fix your CV for you

    Indeed!

    Last time I brought my CV to an agency they spent a good while reading through it and giving me some tips. Coming from people that look at CVs all day that was invaluable.
