CV Writing...

[Predator]

I know the question has probably been asked a million times before... anyway...!

Does anyone know any good websites with templates for CV writing and/or tips on how to write them?

Ta in advance :x

Try and get as much as you can onto a single page without making it too cluttered. If you can't manage the whole lot, at least get your personal details and previous employment history on one page, the rest can go on another page. Try and make it as short and to the point as possible, it looks nice and snappy and potential employers are more likely to look at a short and to the point resume, rather than a 6-page CV.

Also, try to include a character reference as well as an employment one, they like it if other people think you are nice!
