# writing your CV is scary..
..especially if you havn't updated in years.
just wait until you have to do a cover letter, then the fear really starts to set in

Plus I have to write a personal statement!

Bugger!

# Don't update!
Re-write!
You'll produce something that's more concise, more up-to-date, and you can adjust it so it's specific to the position you're applying to.
Good God, I sound like someone down the Job Centre...

# I'm with you though.
Also, most recent stuff first - I saw a mate's CV recently and by putting her education history at the top she was effectively making them wade through what she got in her GCSEs before bothering to tell them that she'd been doing this really scary big responsible job for the past five months.

# the cover letter is so hard
it's why I only get jobs through agencies.
How are you meant to explain why you are particularly suited for a job, when you know you are not suited to any work on a fundemental level?

# CV?
Pfft. Just apply for jobs where the CEO was at the same college as you at Oxford, surely?
