Hi there,


I am an older person who needs some help producing a CV.


I know there are sites on line that have CV templates but as I haven't worked for several years these don't apply to me.


Look forward to hearing - can offer a bottle of wine in exchange for guidance and help.

Your work experience/qualifications may not be directly comparable to the templates you?ve seen but you can adapt as required. I would suggest a format similar to this example, i.e. start with a brief personal statement of your background and objectives, followed by your work history (most recent first) then academic/qualifications. Another tip - no longer than two sides of A4, preferably one.


If you?ve been out of the workplace for a number of years, the personal statement would be a good place to give your reasons and to demonstrate you?re ready for a new challenge.

I agree with Ruffler and JohnL: you don't need to be overly detailed or fussily chronological whereby every month/year is accounted for as long as you give reasons for 'hollow years'. Depending on the job, work out what qualities and skills you want to stand out. One A4 page or page and a half is seriously advisable. Speaking from lots of experience going through hundreds of CV's and helping others to write theirs.

I'd be happy to help. Suggested services are helpful.

    • John recently skimmed the walls in our front room lounge, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the result. From start to finish, he was professional, punctual, and easy to work with.   He arrived on time each day and kept me updated on progress, which made the whole process smooth and stress-free. The quality of his plastering is smooth, even, and ready to paint with minimal prep. He takes real pride in his work.   John was also very tidy, laying down protective sheets and cleaning up thoroughly after the job was done. It’s clear he respects his clients’ homes, which I really appreciated.   On top of that, he’s friendly, approachable, and trustworthy someone you feel comfortable having in your home. His pricing was fair and transparent, with no unexpected costs.   Highly recommended if you're looking for a skilled and reliable plasterer. I’ll definitely be using him again for any future work.
    • You what???   Think you Should have gone to woodfalls 😁 
    • Your second point contradicts your first (and previous post)
    • I'm guessing they're busy. I found out just now that the SNT has tracked down the kids who attacked my dog, had strong words with their parents, and the gang has now broken up. I got a lot of detail, which I won't go into here, but it sounds as if they were also quite compassionate towards some of the kids, some of whom may not have had the easiest of lives.  I know that those kids had nothing to do with the attack of the man in August and that they are also aware of the fireworks problem. Sounds like good community policing.
