Are there any public sector recruiters here please? I've been struggling to find a job and re written my cv today again. Can I have an impartial eye? I'd send it by email.

Hi, I’m private sector but I’m happy to have a look tomorrow, if you don’t get public sector offers. I’ve done a lot of recruitment.

Do you currently work in public sector? If so use the yammer site to ask for help as answer will depend on the grade and role youre applying for.

Or are you outside public sector atm?

I am unemployed at the moment and struggling to get shortlisted.

Most public sector roles aren't based on or at least not solely based on a CV, they tend to be based on strengths and behaviour questions that need to be answered in a particular way, plus the statement of suitability and sometimes a CV. Are the roles you've been applying for CV only?

I have done so, followed guides and rewrote over 15 versions now. What I need is a real person that can be impartial and give me an opinion.
