Bound4Tassie Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 I've been asked informally to send over a CV. Seeing as I haven't written one in 9 or 10 years , I'm a but rusty! Are there any major differences for an Aussie cv? Anyone got a link to a decent template? Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bound4Tassie Posted February 8, 2016 Author Share Posted February 8, 2016 Many thanks. Well at least the chap looking at it is a pom too so if it is too English, he probably won't care! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevsan Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Indeed - as long as it is clear and tells someone, what you have done and you can offer and if you can add specifics thats great - i did X and that helped the company do X / get X / save X - I have 3 versions, 1x UK, 1xUS, 1xAUS and they all are the same format containing the same info. all that changes is the spelling.
