Just updating mine, but it runs halfway onto a second page... is this generally a problem?

its best to try and keep it to full pages, cant you cut it down? or even better pad it out a bit. You written about your interests? My careers adviser told me companies are particularly interested in the hobbies/interests section of a CV coz they dont want to employ geeks that dont get out much like Marc

Yeah, my career experience is the first page, then education and interests take up half of the second... only so much you can say about "Vehicle Customization and restoration"

u have to blag...

but u need to bullet point..

people look for:
your name (and location if an agency)
they look at education..
ur last/current job...
any bonus points

the rest is a blur
