Have you lost your job due to Corona Virus? Need a CV?

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

Forgive my ignorance, but what exactly is the difference that makes paying a hefty sum worth it rather than doing your own? What do they do that makes it so over the top that you get a job? I used to manage and look through C.V.s, and there are certainly some bad ones, but I don't think I ever saw one that just Wowed me and made me hire someone. I wasn't hiring business professionals, though, so maybe there's a difference there?

Just for shits, here's mine. Try not to roast me too hard. I genuinely don't know - is this garbage compared to what a professional would produce, or is it alright? Or as I said, maybe the paid C.V. is more of a business professional thing and it wouldn't make a difference for a "regular working guy" sort of person? I don't get paying someone a lot to make one, but maybe it's just over my head?

Do you think the parents of baby boomers whined so much when the boomers started changing society? And yet the whiney ones like to call young people "snowflakes." Hmm...

Roz, you might be better off targeting people in Oz. Something like a million potential customers for you now this week. Whirlpool forums, or something.

Well I think you certainly need to throw that CV away and get a professional one done by rozz.

For a start ,Why are you only showing the last ten years of your working life , and you have had 4 jobs in that time. That's only long enough to learn how to sweep the floor and make the bosses coffee before you were fired in each job.

Why only one page ? Where are the Certificates, Degrees from your school that you went to. That is assuming you did go to school and kindergarten. Do you have any personal references from the Company, Business or person that hired you. :stir:

Nice CV, imho. Personally, for starters, everywhere it says 'XXXX and bartender,' I would just delete the 'bartender', as the last thing I'd be looking for in an English teacher is to be reminded that they used to work in a bar serving drinks. 'Manager' and 'server' would have been just fine. But really, I think that's a good looking CV. You're probably already towards the top of the stack of CVs sitting on a director's desk because you have a Cambridge CELTA.



Also, I assume you weren't keen on hiring the people with the 'bad ones,' so surely all those people who got looked over and didn't get the job (and the income) would have benefited greatly by getting a professional to do it.

Your CV is often your first impression before your first impression, so whether you get a professional to do it or not, it better be damn good.
