A wide range of different CVs are critiqued in detail, giving you the reader an appreciation of formatting, content and layout issues. Then the re-worked CVs are presented showing the dramatic improvement. In addition the whole book has been thoroughly revised to include new research findings and updated web links. The number one CV book in the UK has just got better!
