I am going to apply for another job and i need to write a CV.

I have never had to write one before as i have been in the same job since leaving school (20 years)

Any tips of what to write and how to lay it out would be great

EDITED to say found it on your profile!

 

Cool, always fancied that Steve, do you drive the local routes or up and down the country??

 

Read and re-read the advert, check exactly what they are looking for and re-repeat it in your skills/attributes section. This is the most simple aspect tell them what you want to hear.

nex thing, in my opinion, is to get it simple and neat. I would try to keep it to one page, two maximum.

Keep it neat and clutter free and you should be home dry.

Oh, and avoid shite, like, enjoys hillwalking and keeping fit etc etc be real.
