j4Okay, 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![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
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. :-}

Date: 2003-11-04 01:29 am (UTC)you should probably condense the three Pembroke College jobs into one in which you worked for Pembroke College.
You should move the pianist job into other interests, and turn 'I also play the piano' into 'I have played the piano, accompanying classes at the local ballet school'.
You shouldn't have the split between voluntary and involuntary work (this is a very personal opinion though - please ignore it)
You should condense the work experience placements into one heading.
I suppose I should give some sort of reasoning behind these opinions - at the moment, my first impression on reading it is that it contains everything but the kitchen sink. I think that by reducing the bits which seem repetative, you can probably make the people read the other bits that you do want them to concentrate on, and make them feel that these bits are correspondingly more important.
Beugh. I hate CVs. ;)
