Hi,

The format still does not seem quite right, but I'll try to comment. I'm commenting based on the format that people use here where I live.

Put your name /address / phone / email at the top, as a heading.

Then put these sections, in this order:

OBJECTIVE (what position you are looking for, very briefly)

SKILLS

EMPLOYMENT EXPERIENCE

EDUCATION

PROFESSIONAL QUALIFICATIONS / MEMBERSHIPS

REFERENCES (Just say 'available on request')

Why don't you make the changes I've suggested, if you want to, and then repost this.

The format you gave me to work with is an awkward one.

Can you just type in, directly, what you want me to look at?

Best wishes, Clive
