go to and click on Career Tools and then CV builder and it will build one for you - as they are one of the biggest recruitment agencies in the UK I would guess the output conforms to whatever is deemed to be standard today but I have never used it myself so cant vouch for the quality nor usefulness of the tool!

Hi Magoo Templates are ok but if you think of an agency like Reed most of their jobs are under ?15K PA and the template is suited to those people. The other templates tend to be a variation on a theme and at the end of the day everybody?s ends up looking the same. Three years ago I paid to have mine done by a specialist company, was not quite an overnight success but within 12 months had got two contracts at higher rate and various other perks I would never have had before. Most of my friends use a specialist company and the CV has had great effect in getting them in the door. Expect to pay ?150 to ?250 not cheap but worth it in the long run

jonboy you paid between ?150 and ?250 to have a personal CV done and you think you got a good deal, did they print some fake certificates for you as well lol ... if not you were well and truly shafted, nice to see they had the desired effect though, do they give any guarantees??
