I am currently in the process of trying to secure a work placement for the third year. I have made a few changes to my CV that I think will make it look more professional. I have tried to condense it so that it only lists relevant information as it was previously 3 pages long. I have also added a personal profile listing my strengths and
used a bullet point format throughout.
