    As per title. I'm looking for someone familiar with IT to re-work my CV on a flat fee basis. I can find lots of people who can do CV's but none seem to have an IT background. Can you recommend anyone?

    list certs,
    list third level education,
    list companies you've worked for, tasks, who you responded to and who/what you were responsible for.
    list projects you've worked on that are out in the open
    list skills proficient in,
    list hobbies - this is a personal thing i like on a cv, especially in tech you'd like to know that your potential colleague has a healthy balance between sitting on a pc all day and something else.

    my flat fee is 100euro, pm me for payment details.

    CV should be short and to the point. If you have room to put in hobbies then you mustn't have much work experience.

    Graduate CV: 1 page
    Experienced CV: 2 pages

    Obviously, grammar or spelling mistakes means it goes in the bin. Silly fonts or excessive use of colour = goes in the bin. Anything other than minimal = goes in the bin.

    I wouldn't pay that poster above 100 quid, he didn't even say to put employment history on cv :confused:

    my post was in jest, i thought i conveyed that with my ridiculous price. of course employment history is a glaring omission but that's in there now :pac:
