Hi
A friend of mine is looking for help with their CV and so I'm posting this on their behalf. He's been out of work for 4 years and is looking for an admin job or possibly sales. I have given him many suggestions including aiming to make the job descriptions more achievement based as currently it reads like a shopping list.
Please take a look at his CV and suggest improvements.
