Do not use fancy coloured paper, paper that is too thick/heavy or anything that sticks out too much, no photos on them (unless specifically asked).
Some people think that this will get them noticed, it does, but for the wrong reasons...


Good luck
Perfect Advice.
I interview on a daily basis and must see about 80Cvs a Day.

I would also alter your CV depending on the job your applying for. Put in as much relevant information for that role as possible and remove things that they wont want to see.
Do not use an odd text format as it will look poor and will prob end in the bin.
the ideal format i prefer is

Name
Address
Personal Statement
Employment (MOST RECENT FIRST.no one wants to read about your paper-round at 13 lol)
Education
References

If you want.....send me what you have done and i will look at it for you
