How to update my CV
How I did it: I simply sat down at my computer opened Word and Googled a CV template. I the re wrote the template in my own style and with my details. I kept it to 2 a4 pages and was brief. I have no idea if it is good or not but I was pleased that I have got it done.
Previously, I spent ages putting doing it off as all the other times I have had to write one I spent ages faffing around and found it really taxing.
I guess maybe as we age little things like CV's feel less daunting as we get more of a handle of what employers are looking for etc
From now on I will review and update my CV every six months to keep it fresh and current. Have put it in my diary for May 28th!
