Was thinking of making a new CV since I dont have an up to date one and alot has changed for me in the last few years.

Would it be approperiate to add images to my CV as appendices? Ive not seen it before, but theres a number of large mechanical/electrical projects I have been responsible for and only photos would do it justice.

Any suggestions towards templates etc would be appreciate

employee will only have a few minutes to scan your cv. first 1/3 is where they generally look, read, and make a quick yes/no decision

photos will take far too much time, and most, in fact all websites my cv is on, is in rich text or word format

covering letter is slightly different, could be possible to add them there

my current job is split into 2 seperate roles across uk and europe and i had to fit 100s of things i look after into 6-7 lines

Wouldnt on a CV - but would maybe include a 'portfolio' of the work (so in other words the pics and more details) which they could also look at.

Just make sure you spell everything right

When we took lads on we binned the ones with spelling mistakes without even looking at anything else.If you can't even use spellcheck your no use TBH.

Pictures of naked ladies (or men
