Free technical CV template

One of the most frequent requests I get from contractors I manage, and candidates in all fields is:  "is my CV ok?"

Here is a blended template I have put together from my experience and talks with clients and candidates alike.  See how you go and let me know what you think!

Cheers

Technical format CV

List your strengths by placing emphasis on your skills, experience and abilities at the top, and following that a chronological list of experience, as in this sample CV.

Technical format resumes are best for candidates who have technical job roles, if you are changing careers / industries, candidates returning to the workforce or graduates with limited work experience.
