Hello there. If I'm being honest, this needs re-writing as it sounds like 99% of other CVs that include "hardworking, reliable, enjoy meeting people".

What we advise is writing your profile last so you can make notes and pull out your key skills / achievements. Also, if you have a job spec you should try and demonstrate some of the competencies they ask for in your CV's profile as this will be one of the first things a recruiter will read when picking up your CV.

Once you've ammended it, feel free to reply to this topic and we'll have another look for you.

I would advise never using the phrase "I like to think..." It implies that although YOU think you're all those things, your coworkers and boss don't share that opinion. If it's been on your reviews/reports, by all means say so, but otherwise leave that stuff out in favour of more objective information.

you want to try to make your cv alot more personable which means its created around who you are. You want to stand out from the rest of the people who are applying for that same position.

I would try to re-phrase it - I hate writing personal statements, but one tip I was given was to try to give evidence 'The results I achieved as part of XYZ project demonstrate my ability to adapt to new situations quickly....' for example.

It's easy to just say you're hard working and a good team player - if you can provide examples of when you exhibited those qualities, you're one step ahead of everyone else claiming to have them.

It would be great if you will make a CV that's a little bit unique. You must find ways and means how to give good impression to the employers. In my previous CV, I used words and statements that were not commonly used by others. My CV is simple and brief. If you have a vocabulary terms, it's a plus factor.
