I need to redo my CV - totally. But when i did my CV 10 years ago it didnt have a "skills matrix" and other such things that i have seen about these days.

Can anyone recommend/send me a good "standard" blank/template?

I know it was a sarcastic blush - not so easy to do when typing is it?

I have that problem, i'm very often being sarcastic here but people just don't geddit without hearing the tone of my voice/hands ?????

I think its time i went to bed cos i'm waffling crap!

hmm, have done Skills Lists in my time, but never a Skills Matrix. This suggests it's a chart of which skills you used in each previous position, so it's easy for readers to see what common strands ran through every job.

Thank you. Not quite what i was thinking of though. Perhaps i have got my phraseology wrong

Go to the employment agency websites for the area you work in and see if they have a cv section, they often do. Fwiw, my cv doesn't have a skills matrix!
