Hi, I'll assume you are writing for a UK audience. The order is typically, but by no means universally: Contact details Education Employment Skills Interests References. You can swap the skills and employment sections if one is more heavily weighted than the other. Dates don't need to be precise, giving months or year timeframes is fine. Remember formatting is important - you can tweak things to make it look better on the page. Avoid too much white space, refrain from tables or anything else that draws attention away from the key sections. Try not to break sections across pages. Finally, as an offer, if you'd like me to look over anything for comment, I'm happy to do this. I have recent experience doing this both for myself and others, so if you need a friendly (or critical if you wish) eye to look over it, just shout. _______________________________________ Have a pleasant day, Kind Regards and Best Wishes, Hussein.
