CV Format and Layout

Toast4532 · 2014-02-16 17:41:50

Hi, I am looking to re-do my CV in a different format as I feel it's been the same for too long and I'm looking for suggestions/opinions on what are acceptable formats and layouts for CV's? Currently my CV is in the layout that I have attached to this post, so any advice, tips, suggestions etc on how to jazz it up a bit…

Hi,

I am looking to re-do my CV in a different format as I feel it's been the same for too long and I'm looking for suggestions/opinions on what are acceptable formats and layouts for CV's?

Currently my CV is in the layout that I have attached to this post, so any advice, tips, suggestions etc on how to jazz it up a bit would be appreciated.

I would add in a link to your linkedin profile. Your cv will be concise, your linkedin profile won't be.

I don't like your new layout at all. It's empty but I already started falling asleep.

What's the purpose of the "Profile" section?
Why are you grouping education and work experience?

The most important thing a CV can do is sell yourself. Currently your CV 100% does not do that.
