I hope OP has had some success by now

Ooops! I didn't notice that! ??? That'll teach me to be more observant, I'm off to detention and I'll write out 100 lines!

Hope OP isn’t still waiting!

I know it’s an old thread but I must reply to StarDreamer
No CVS are presented in paper form now. And haven’t been for the past 18 years when my daughter started her own recruitment agency.
When my daughter is very busy she will ask me to sort through the cvs. I can assure you that every employer is looking for the best candidate for the job: not the grey person.

Thank you.

While a well written CV is important and can also act as a good prompt...in all honesty a lot of companies no longer rely on the CV.
I've actually spent this morning shortlisting from application forms which are (for us) done online.

I'd advise you to read the question and give examples of what YOU did in response.

This thread is nearly three years old. I imagine that the Op has found a job by now.
