Well,

I really should be doing an extended CV right now, listing in detail everything I've done over the last 4-5 years to finish the last part of my accounting qualification, but I'd rather do anything else right now! Including posting on here :)

Please feel free to disturb me.

    Oh heck - I know just how you feel, Dont extend the cv too much if it is for a job - use bullet points Prospective employers wont read reams of info and you might lose out
    Good Luck - Have a mini break have the cuppa from the Cafe and it will seem better when you go back to it

    Force to work... our internet died... :shock:

    Many thanks for the cuppa :) Much needed... and actually makes me want a real one!

    Cath thanks for the support however I can't get out of the detail on this CV, I'm submitting my 3+ yr work experience as the final piece of my accounting qualification - after 10 exams over 3 yrs, and they want all the detail... 6-8 pages is their guidelines :roll:

    So far i've just filled out all the forms to go with the application, and wrote 'extended CV' on a piece of paper :D This may take a while... :evil

    Oh Bless you - I know its hard work training in accountancy, my neices hubby Qualified in May and now my nephew is doing his training - it seems to be a constant round of exams and revision.

    Here this might help ( a nice hot choc with marshmallows) would give you something a bit stronger but I think you will need a clear head.

    I do sympathise as stretching a CV is as hard as condensing one and adding all the detail in a balanced way is very difficult. Something always runs to several pages and another part to a few sentences.

    I will make this short so that it doesn't distract you. u025.gif
