CV Letting me down

Bikerbhoy

Hi all
Hard enough as it is to even get to interview these days Im starting to feel that maybe my CV is not doing me any favors. It might be a bit all over the shop.
Have any of you used or know of any CV writers that could give me some advice or re write it for me at a reasonable price.

Thanks in advance

hi, I know there are companies that can look at it for you, but they are mad expensive. I have heard of http://www.measurability.ie but I dont know what the cost it.

I would suggest getting a good example of a cv online, there is one here http://gradireland.com/job-hunting-tools/, its on the gradireland website and I dont know what area you are in (graduate or not), but you could use this as a template. There are loads of examples online that you could use. Also I have seen people to put their cvs up on this site, minus their personal details of course, and get people to have a look and make suggestions.

I am job hunting myself and really struggling to even get an interview too, think it is just very tough out there at the moment. I did register with an agency lately, and even though nothing has come of it, they went through my cv with me when I met with them, and reviewed areas that I could improve. This was really helpful, and free!
