As said earlier, there is no single good CV.
Adverts.
If you can do 50% of the items in any advert - apply for it. You may be the closest to the mark.
Responding to an advert:
Read the advert and write your covering letter by itemising the aspects that you can do with your qualifications and/or achievements.
Do the same with your CV by promoting the relevant Q's and emphasising the A's
You must sell yourself - there no-one else to do it.
Be bold and "Brag" - but don't ever lie (I've sacked two liars so far)
Don't put miltary jargon or abbeviations in it (unless it part of the job)
Don't put that you've passed your fitness test (unless its part of the job)
You don't need to 'admit' to anything in your CV (believe me, some do)
It doesnt matter what you did on Det in Wherever.
You don't need to say what weapons you've used (believe me, some do)
...and good luck
