    Can someone review my C.V I have been applying for jobs now for the last 6 months after I graduated and I got a few reply's/intewrviews but not a lot and its soul destroying stuff.I am applying a cover letter to every job and change it to make it relevant but still not many replys.I am applying for IT roles generally IT support.
    Any one have a quick look and let me know,If you want to post here Ill pm back with a link to the C.V.
    Thanks.

    Sent you long pm.

    It's not a bad cv at all but there's a couple of omissions and just a few suggestions.

    Hope helps

    OP, make sure that you put your CV, covering letter/email through a spelling and grammar checker. I don't typically comment on spelling and grammar on boards, but your post was full of spelling and grammar errors. To be honest, if I received a CV or cover letter with several errors, I would bypass it, as it shows a level of carelessness I would not be comfortable with in my team.

    If you want to send it on, I'll take a look - I work in the IT space myself. :)
