CV formating - any tips, tools etc?

[Oscar]

I want to reformat my CV - Looking for good tips, tools, templates etc for doing that.

Would like to somehow being able to change my mind without going through it line-by line.

Perhaps i should take it as an exercise in CSS?
(Think I need to deliver Word doc though - not sure how that would work).

Another thing I would like to do is to customize it for specific roles without loosing tracks.

If the source is in the right type of format i could use source control, though perhaps standard Word comparison is just as good.


Thanks!

I think a word processor is your best choice, something like Word from Microsoft. That way you wont be the laughing stock of the Agents.

Don't forget to include full details of two (recent) references - saves the agent/recruiter having to ask and delaying the inevitable interview.

You know, I think you've discovered the ideal font format right there. You'll certainly stand out from the other applicants.

Don't be a square, stand out from the crowd, make an impression, be the one they remember; Word has a host of wonderful text effects from 'Shimmer' and 'Sparkle Text' to 'Las Vegas Lights'.

Who dares wins, Rodders.

Blinking text looks great for making things stand out, just remember to hit the print button at the moment when the text is visible

Don't forget to put your fighting weight on it.



Seriously try a few of the job boards they have some really good guides free to download.

Get it reviewed by anyone who is willing.
