LOL.. I knew I had to do it really.. I'm just doing it with a big sulky face on.

Also it doesn't state the salary.. if it's less than my current salary I would've wasted my time

OK, It's 3 pages long.. not sure how I condense it. 3rd page is only qualifications etc shall I lose it?

do people like seeing Qualifications still?

Could I just add, 'Qualifications & References available on request' at the bottom of the 2nd page?

People like seeing stuff which is relevant.

So if your qualifications include GCSE knitting, lose it.

If your qualifications include anything relevant to the job, keep it in.

Same goes for jobs you've had. If you have 'Saturday Girl at Next' cluttering things up, lose it.

Make sure everything you are putting for each job or anything else, will help you get the job you are applying for.

I've only detailed my last 4 roles at this company as they are all relevant but longwinded with lots of responsibility.

I've taken out all my education detals at the moment.

I have added a career summary that lists all my roles/jobs to date (with dates) then just detailed the most recent 4

Thanks for all the advice.. I will send it to a couple of people tonight for some constructive critisism
