Hi Stacey, it is hard to advise without seeing your CV. However my advice would be that you make sure your CV is clear and well-presented with an easy to read font such as Verdana or Calibri. Double and triple check for grammar and spelling mistakes. Have a short profile at the top which explains what you have done and what you are looking to do next and avoids overused phrases and buzzwords.

List your skills and give a bit of detail to quantify these- so if you can use Excel to a good standard, give a couple of examples of what you can do. Keep the information concise and to the point- try to look at the CV through the eyes of the employer.

Don't feel you need to put everything on you have ever done- a good piece of advice I was given was that the purpose of a CV is to get you the interview and the purpose of the interview was to get you the job. On the other hand, make sure your job history is clear and easy to follow.

The job boards have a lot of useful advice and Monster has a good template which I often send out to candidates.
