Unemployed
I was Mordred writes, "I've been out of work for a while now... however, every cloud must have a silver lining. Tell us your stories of the upside to unemployment."
You can tell us about the unexpected downsides too if you want.

I go with a two-page format
One page is cold, hard, but fairly standard boring factoids, like my contact details, DoB and NI, my school and professional qualifications and accreditations, a super-brief work history (one line per job, date - job title - company), and my referees. This page is just about always the same.
The other page is more about stuff that doesn't go into an at-a-glance table format. There's a paragraph about my current role and responsibilities, and a paragraph or two about my most relevant experience for the sort of job I'm applying for. Finally there's that paragraph where I try to convince them that I am a confident well-rounded person with a healthy range of interests and a positive attitude. Heh.
Each section or paragraph gets a heading and my name and phone number go at the top of each sheet.
