CV again

[j4]

Okay, you're all sick of this by now, but MY JOURNAL, MY WHINGES, okay? (Love me, love my neuroses.)

Updated and enhanced CV here. (It's in Word format, sorry, because I can't format it nicely in plain text and I'm lazy.) Katherine, I haven't turned every negative into a positive, but I've turned it all into neutral-statements-with-positive-sounding-verbs-in ... will that do as a compromise? :-)

I've also added Positions of Responsibility and Other Information -- thanks to emperor for providing grown-up sounding headings. I think those sections of my CV both read a bit crap, though, so again, suggestions welcomed.

...

Currently wondering whether to apply for this job with the IWF. I know I could do it, but a) can I convince them that I could do it, and b) do I want to work for the IWF? Not sure.

Update: Yeah, yeah, CV now there with correctly-typed name, ph34r my l337 computing skillz. :-}

Length -- yeah, I know, that's one reason why I didn't want to put more info in, but now I have done (because everybody said to) and now it's too long. :-( See comments in response to jiggery_pokery re formatting.

Another CV-writing tip I picked up somewhere is to shove Education down the list; put it below Work Experience, because it's less recent than the jobs and thus fits with the general reverse chronological order of a CV.

Hmmm. The thing is, not all my work experience is more recent than my education, and I sort of think of qualifications as Things I Have (like name/address/etc.) rather than Things I've Done. If you see what I mean. (Okay, that's a post-hoc rationalisation of a general feeling that That's Where It Belongs, but I think it's roughly why I think it belong there, IYSWIM.)

And then where does voluntary work come? I think it just risks getting very messy if I shuffle it around too much. :-/

Confused now. Thank you for advice though.
