1. first tip: don't publicise your personal info on the internet
2. you must be mad giving your personal details out on the web, you are likely to cause more trouble for yourself than get a job offer from here!
3. i agree with slim_neva......, don't ever put ur personal detail on the net. u can log on to the good employment companies for jobs u should go for the job/ career which u hav planned during attaining ur qualification. i'll must say that go for the job u like the most. as u can work hard in job which u enjoy the most rather than working on anyone's advise. don't worry u'll b sucessfull. hav faith & patience.
4. Yeah the first thing to do would be censor your personal details before putting anything on the web. CV's should always show your education first. When detailing your work history put a heading showing the name of the company you worked for and the dates you were employed by them. Under this you should bullet point your duties, don't set everything out in a paragraph as this is to wordy. Your skills and responsibilities should stand out without a prospective employer having to read paragraphs of description - because 9 times out of 10 they just won't bother. You needn't explain the reasons you carried out tasks and what you learned from the processes, this will be covered in the interview anyway.
5. Sunrose - I work in recruitment also, and it is incorrect that your education must go at the top - there is no hard and fast rule about this. If you're a recent graduate, so you have a good education but very little work experience, then yes, your education should probably go first, but in Russell's case I wouldn't advise this, as his recent experience is more relevant to the positions he is applying for (he has said in another question that he is applying for retail positions). But, in answer to the question ... It's not bad. Under the RSPCA section, just have the main headings/bullet points, and leave out the information underneath it. I don't think the education part is really detailed enough. Do you have any qualifications at all? Even GCSEs? It's just that it's not really clear what level you studied these subjects at. Anyway, good luck, keep trying!
