| The worst thing about your CV is the non-chronological layout and the second item the "University of Bedfordshire" A lazy recruiter will see that as a watermark as your education and assume the rest is amateur stuff. This makes it look like you have less than one year experience. For some companies/recruiters they often like to see month and year for each position. It can be a red flag as it looks like hiding of career gaps. Lack of personal statement is a lesser problem. Recruiters won't necessarily care, but it makes a hiring managers job harder. The job positions should be seen as supporting evidence for the claims in that statement. That said, despite these problems, the jobs market is at the slowest it's been for years. Particular for more senior roles. My company has a hiring freeze despite being profitable and growing and we're cutting costs to avoid making people redundant. I'm UK based and have reviewed hundreds if not thousands of CVs. |
CVs used to have a choice of layouts, you write in a form you prefer. What's wrong with non-chronologicals now?
