I'm pretty good at writing CV's and tend to do mine (or my friends and family's) in Word from scratch. If you want me to knock up a bit of a template for you (if you have microsoft word) then let me know and I'll use one of these I have and change it to tiling related stuff for you and fire it over.

I also change them normally just slightly for each job people are applying for, and write a brilliant cover letter based on what the company said they wanted in a person in their job advert. If my CV's don't get looked at there is a monkey looking through them and not a HR person. Whether they get the job (and the often get an interview at least) is another thing.

That would be great Dan thanks.
