I translated and updated my CV. It wasn’t a lot of work (which is not a good sign when dealing with CV :D), now I just have to successfully use it…

How to update my CV
It made me
relieved?
 "Unknown"
How I did it: At least I think I did it. I added in all the other information, rewrote pretty much all of it as I wasn't satisfied. Now I think its done, might show it to some relatives to see if theres anything I should change. Then I can start sending my CV out to try and secure a job before I graduate.

It made me

How I did it: I found my old CV and added all the new things I have done over the last year. Also asked my wife to proof read it with me once it was updated to cut out all the little mistakes. Read how I did it…

It made me
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… Read how I did it…

Just started looking for work after being a stay at home Mum for the last year. I think I will be going through jobsite to get this done and get it laid out correctly.

Well Ive started – the worst part is that I have to totally re format the whole thing into Open Office. Lame.
It doesn’t help that there’s a job I want to apply for that I need to send it off by Friday but then the motivation is a good thing I guess.

now that this has become more crucial I have finally done it. It wasn’t too hard either, it’s just one of those things that isn’t tempting to do unless you really need to…

I went to pay a bill online and realised that I had about £500 less in the bank than I thought I did. That is, I thought I had £500 in my account and I don’t, I now have minus £73 in the bank. I think it might be time for me to get off my steadily expanding ass (I gave up smoking) and get myself back into the world of employment.
The good news is I have found five (count them FIVE) jobs that I really want to apply for, although one of them says you need a driving licence but I’ll see if I can apply anyway if I cite disability or religion or ethics (why should I be discriminated against because I choose not to pollute the environment? Hmmm?).
However, my CV is about three years out of date. So first things first, I better get this up to date as then you can cheat a bit when applying for stuff online by cutting and pasting large chunks of it into the job history field. So, I better get back to exaggerating my skills, qualifications and experience as wildly as I dare! The good news is, in order to make room for my Masters and my “Negotionation and Conflict Management skillz” qualification I get to finally bump the horrible job I had in 2001 off my CV, so the whole thing seems a lot more karmic now. Yay!

I have now updated my cv. I added my last two jobs and France to my language skills. Also took off Canoco and SPSS since I don’t remember anymore how to use them. But I added ArcGIS to my computer skills :D
Oh well. Now I should print it and take couple of them with me when I go to job hunt day after tomorrow. I also should start applying some jobs from net.
This is a start...

I got told about 2 weeks ago that my job of more than 3 years is being made redundant as the role is no longer required by my company. There is going to be a new position in the company and although I have been encouraged to go for it by the Manager I really don’t wish to as it isn’t for me.
I felt a little down and have not gotten round to updating my CV upon hearing the news but I hope to finally do something about it as I have about a month in my current position…

By the time I had my shizzle together, the job description was taken off the intranet website. Well, at least I’ll be prepared if something else comes up. If. Still haven’t braced myself to tell my boss that I missed the opportunity to get out of her team, as she so badly desires.

I updated my CV I used 3 years ago and translated it into English. I also tailored it to the job I want to go for right now. I still need a cover letter and by this time on Wednesday, I will have applied for the open position in my company I want to change to.
