Fair dues Andy, I'm glad you clarified your initial post as just like Checkers I read it and thought "that's a bit strong mate", but I refrained from from giving you both barrels as it did just enter my mind that your message was one that's hard to convey via the Internet.
Having said that, when I was job hunting in the UK in the late 1990's it was an open secret that the CV format you speak about in terms of relevant experience was comprised of 1 x A4 sheet..and it got me my first job (on a Van no less!) because the CP was in exactly the same position as you describe..scarily so in fact.
To all and sundry..its sometimes worth remembering that even in the midst of a rant..there's some good Gen to be had
Goodluck Andy, if I was 15 years younger..lighter of kids, wife, mortgage...I might've liked going back and adding to my 800hrs of Van time
