Seeking help on writing a CV in english...

As english isn't my mothertongue, and I have no idea what a CV looks like in english, I am seeking advice in here...

Can anyone send a copy of his/her CV to get an idea?
(alter information or delete entries if you wish... I don't want to pry in your personal sphere)
Just as long as I have a good idea about format and layout, I'd be more than happy.

Many thanks in advance!

In England, because of our huge diversity as a nation, it is now customary to indicate to potential employers as to our "preferences". Simply write "hetrosexual" or "homosexual" at the top of your CV.
PS: Welcome to England, I applaud your pioneering spirit and look forward to competing with you for future employment.

hey Vlad
do you speak Flemish, or French?
thought not.
:mad:

[vlad-the-inhaler]

Ouch JD, I am so ashamed that I dont speak French or Flemish. I should also confess that I dont speak lots of other languages, too many to list here. So its a good job that English is the language of both aviation and business, and not by accident either.I congratulate you on your fluency in phlegm. I bid you good day Sir!

PS... Develop a sense of humour

[Jelly Doughnut]

face up to it buddy, the UK is part of the EU now. No point turning this into another foreigner-bashing thread. You're the one that needs to lighten up.
Belgian chap, read your PM's.
cheers
JD

Belgian Chap,

I would note vlad's comments if I were you. It is indeed customary in the UK to state what you 'prefer' outside office hours.

It has also become the norm over recent years to supply a photo of yourself naked together with your CV. If you fail to do this your CV will almost certainly be binned immediately.

Best regards and good luck!

BC,

Wat je buiten kantoortijd doet hoeft niemand te weten, zelfs niet hier in GB. Tenzij het een in je voordeel is zou ik het niet vermelden.

Gebruik een goede spell checker (om maar eens een goed Nederlands woord te gebruiken). Je gebruikt het woord moederspraak als een woord, maar in het Engels zijn dat twee woorden. Dat zijn de dingen die je door de mand doen vallen. Dat is ook de reden dat ik weet dat je Vlaming bent en ik je dus in het Nederlands kan antwoorden.

Groet,

Gerard
