Yeah, what Claire has said just backs up what my study found. Employers want that informations readily to hand, so no point getting off on a bad foot by making them wade through to find yours when everyone else has made it clear to see.

I showed you how I do mine though and it only takes up minimal space and is a header as opposed to a heading, so I do not lose valuable space on page 1.

Yep if you`re worried about space then as Cheryl suggests those details can be put in the header space as opposed to being a heading and taking up room.

You should have 7 lines of space in the header box area so there`s plenty of room for it to fit in there.

would someone please be able to look over my CV for me too? i was in work today to find out i'm being made redundant and i was home by lunch time! on a complete downer, but trying to make the best of a bad situation by getting a new job as quick as possible and trying to maximise the payout i just got!

Rough one matey!

I see a couple of hundred cv's a year, and have been interviewing etc for the last 8 years. PM it if you want and i'll happily go thro' it.

Good luck

Yeah, +1. Used to be an Exec search agent that also oversaw an RPO department so CV's, interviewing and candidate screening etc used to be my bread and butter. Feel free to PM me too if you want.
