I really don't know what to put as a profile in my CV without sounding really over the top, i would rather have a brief one, not over 400 words but i really don't know what to write, so can anyone help, you lot know what kind of person i am... and you're cleverer than me..

Hows about you write down everything you want to put in your CV, and then we can like, re-jig it about if bits need adjusting?

Right, do what Antonia said. Answer me some questions, also, assuming you want a work based profile?

What qualities do you think you bring to a job?
What sort of work are you looking for?
From previous employment, what skills have you obtained?
How do you think people would describe you?
Do you like to be part of a team or work alone?
What do you do in spare time? Does this give you any skills you can use in a job?

Or, like, don't, but I'd like to help and I don't feel like I know you very well...

Emma the 37th -

 
Yeah, just listing your last jobs and hobbies is fine but a decent CV says what you've gained from them and why they make you a better person
Sammy's b*tch, DotPhil's wife, Gaz's less official wife, Sarah's wife when I need breasts, Alice's wife if divorced from all 3

Albi The Racist Dragon -

 
If you write 400 words at the start of your CV you're insane. Use 3-4 sentences at the most for a brief character description, then use your employment history section to highlight your skills - write a small passage for each one saying what you gained from it and what skills it gave you.

My CV basically says where I've worked and what my skills are, I'm useless at selling myself, and from what I can remember from interviews, employers only briefly scan them.

Jimmy: Holy sh*t everything's Barry.
Steve-Dave: Everything's better!
Puffalump: Barrier
Steve-Dave: The Barryest it's ever been
Jimmy: I can't wait for more "Important Barry and changes"
Steve-Dave: Well there will be some Barry and changes coming soon, because we need more donations. It no longer just takes £10 a year to help Barry survive
Steve-Dave: It takes like... £13
Steve-Dave: Barry has to walk 5 metres to his car every day... just to go to work and earn money for DVDs and comic books
Steve-Dave: His eyesight is so bad... that he has to wear glasses. Stylish rimless glasses which cost €250
Steve-Dave: His living space is so cramped... that h had to put his workout bench in the garage meaning he doesn't really use it any more
Steve-Dave: But for just €13 a year... You can help Barry afford a DVD that he heard was good but has been out for a while so it's not as expensive as new DVDs
Steve-Dave: Please... Give generously... And help save this poor man's DVD shelf from not being completely full because it just looks weird when it's nearly full. I mean, when it's half full, that's fine. But when there's only a few gaps left... it just looks kinda sad.... y'know
Steve-Dave: Thank you
Rayanne Graff: It scares me when people refer to themselves in the third person.
Steve-Dave: It scares Professor Barrington Cornelius Smashathing XIV esq. too
Steve-Dave: Like my Grandfather, Professor Barrington Cornelius Smashathing XII Esq. always said: "Professor Barrington Cornelius Smashathing XIV esq., Professor Barrington Cornelius Smashathing XII esq. gets scared when people refer to themselves in the third person, and Professor Barrington Cornelius Smashathing XIV esq., Professor Barrington Cornelius Smashathing XII esq. promises to never do that"
Steve-Dave: And like my twin brother, Professor Barrington Cornelius Smashathing XIV.5 esq. (or Professor Barrington Cornelius Smashathing XIV esq. for short) says: "Professor Barrington Cornelius Smashathing XIV esq., Professor Barrington Cornelius Smashathing XIV.5 esq. doesn't like when people refer to themselves in the third person. You and Professor Barrington Cornelius Smashathing XIV.5 esq. must have gotten that from our grandfather, Professor Barrington Cornelius Smashathing XII esq."
Rayanne Graff: You nerds crack me up.
Steve-Dave: Professor Barrington Cornelius Smashathing XII esq., Professor Barrington Cornelius Smashathing XIV.5 esq. and Professor Barrington Cornelius Smashathing XIV esq. all try our best
Rayanne Graff: ... in the pants department.
