✅ CV Self-Audit Checklist - At what point should you review/revamp your CV?

1. Interview Response Check

- Am I getting interview invites from my applications?

- If not, is it because of my CV (not ATS-friendly, not tailored, not achievement-focused)?

2. Content Relevance Check

- Does my CV reflect my current career goals and target role?

- Is it tailored to the industry I want to work in?

- Have I highlighted transferable skills (if I’m changing fields)?

3. Updates Check

- Have I added my most recent job, promotion, or role change?

- Did I include new certifications, courses, or technical skills?

- Are my achievements measurable (e.g., “increased sales by 25%”) and not just duties?

4. Structure & Format Check

- Is my CV ATS-compliant (simple structure, correct keywords, no complex graphics)?

- Does it fit into 2 pages (for most professionals) and 1 page (for entry level)?

- Is the layout modern, easy to read, and professional-looking?

5. Career Growth Check

- Does my CV show progression (growth in roles, skills, and achievements)?

- Is it strong enough to position me for the next level (senior, manager, executive)?

6. Regular Review Check

- Have I reviewed/updated my CV in the last 6–12 months?

- If a recruiter called me today, would I feel confident sharing my CV as it is?

👉 If you check “No” on 2 or more of these, it’s time to review or revamp your CV.

Let’s help you fix that CV and get you noticed. Email your CV to [email protected] with subject 'Revamp'.

@StephenMulhern You are definitely not the only one (I'm a plain eater myself - steak over octopus every time! Lol). We all have fears and at least you are trying to overcome yours.

[Stacy Drye @stacy_drye]

@StephenMulhern @ITV Wow is all I can say. I was in tears after 10 minutes, so emotional. I wondered if you would be concerned about what people would think seeing the show, but it just proves you are human ☺️ (I wouldn't eat most of that either except a prawn lol) Well done you! Where next?

The trouble with the clocks going back is not only that it gets dark at 4pm, but that you can *feel* it getting dark from about 1.30pm

A funny and true story about the late Queen:
Around 2005, the Queen and her Personal Protection Officer, Dick Griffin, were walking alone one afternoon in the hills near the Scottish royal castle, Balmoral.
Two tourists approached them, and engaged in conversation. Griffin recalls:
“There were two hikers coming towards us, and the Queen would always stop and say hello.

"They were two Americans on a walking holiday.
"It was clear from the moment we stopped that they hadn't recognized the Queen, which was fine.
"The American gentleman was telling the Queen where they came from, where they were going next, and where they'd been in Britain.
"I could see it coming, and sure enough, he said to Her Majesty: 'And where do you live?'
"She replied: 'Well I live in London, but I've got a holiday home just the other side of the hills.'
"He said: 'How long have you been coming up here?'
"She replied: 'I've been coming up here ever since I was a little girl, so over 80 years.'
"You could see the cogs whirring, so he said: 'Well, if you've been coming up here for over 80 years, you must have met the Queen.'
"Quick as a flash, she said: 'I haven't, but Dick here meets her regularly.'
The hiker then asked Griffin what the monarch was like in person.
"Because I was with her a long time, and I knew I could pull her leg, I said: 'Oh, she can be very cantankerous at times, but she's got a lovely sense of humour.'
The next thing I knew, this guy comes round, puts his arm around my shoulder, and before I could see what was happening, he gets his camera, GIVES IT TO THE QUEEN, and says: 'Can you take a picture of the two of us?'
"Then we swapped places, and I TOOK A PICTURE OF THEM WITH THE QUEEN.
"And we never let on, and we waved goodbye.
"Afterwards, Her Majesty said to me: 'I'd love to be a fly on the wall when he shows those photographs to his friends in America, and hopefully someone tells him who I am'."
❤️The World Misses You Greatly
Rest in Peace Your Majesty ❤️

[Irish Ranger (Sevvy) @VeteranIrish]

A duck walks into a pub and orders a pint of beer and a ham sandwich.

The barman looks at him and says,

"Hang on! You're a duck."

"I see your eyes are working," replies the duck.

"And you can talk" !!
Exclaims the barman.

"I see your ears are working, too,"
Says the duck.

"Now if you don't mind, can I have my beer and my sandwich please?"

"Certainly, sorry about that,"

Says the barman as he pulls the duck's pint.

"It's just we don't get many ducks in this pub. What are you doing around this way?"

"I'm working on the building site across the road," Explains the duck.

"I'm a plasterer."

The flabbergasted barman cannot believe the duck and wants to learn more, but takes the hint when the duck pulls out a newspaper from his bag and proceeds to read it.

So, the duck reads his paper, drinks his beer, eats his sandwich, bids the barman good day and leaves.

The same thing happens for two weeks.

Then one day the circus comes to town.

The ringmaster comes into the pub for a pint and the barman says to him

"You're with the circus, aren't you? Well, I know this duck that could be just brilliant in your circus. He talks, drinks beer, eats sandwiches, reads the newspaper and everything!"

"Sounds marvellous," says the ringmaster, handing over his business card.

"Get him to give me a call."

So the next day when the duck comes into the pub the barman says,

"Hey Mr Duck, I reckon I can line you up with a top job, paying really good money."

"I'm always looking for the next job,"

Says the duck.

"Where is it?"

"At the circus,"

Says the barman.

"The circus?"

Repeats the duck.

"That's right,"

Replies the barman.

"The circus?"

The duck asks again.

with the big tent?"

"Yeah," the barman replies.

"With all the animals who live in cages, and performers who live in caravans?" says the duck.

"Of course," the barman replies.

"And the tent has canvas sides and a big canvas roof with a hole in the middle?" persists the duck.

"That's right!" says the barman.

The duck shakes his head in amazement, and says;

"What the hell would they want with a plasterer" ???

I love April in Britain. One minute you’re walking along in sunglasses contemplating getting an ice cream, the next you’re having your face battered to pieces by hail. I wonder what weather will be along next.
