    Hey all,
    Have been 'refreshing' my CV and covering letter recently and am now finished. I am currently employed as a computer pogrammer. Do any of you know where/how I can get someone to have a look at it? Like maybe a professional service or would my old university do it? I dont want to send it out with some awful blunders..

    Yours,

    Jeff

    Hey hallelujah,
    I've found that the best thing you can do is to mimic other more experianced people CV's, at least in layout and design.
    If your happy enough with the CV as it stands then the next step would be to go to a reqruitment agency and see if they have any tip's/comments. If you tell them the type of positions your going for you can get valuble feedback as to what points of experiance to emphasise and what areas you may be weak in.

    Hope this helps

    I live pretty far from my old Uni and I would assume emailing my CV would be not as good as sitting beside the reviewer. Do you think if I walked into grafton recruitment would they review my CV straight away? Would I need to arrange an appointment? Think I'll give them a call.
