Why are you writing your CV again, I hear you asking. Well, is it's crap if we believe the online company which writes CV for you, with a nice price tag. They review your CV and gives extensive feedback, negative mostly, for free. Then they offer their professional services. It's a good concept. I was almost crying for their help.
They made a good point though; the content, the core, is pretty thin in my current CV. It really does not give the answer for the question "what has been my best achievements", but rather just says what have been my tasks. Being "responsible of" something does not tell enough.
Thus I started to study a) various formats of CV, and b) what I have achieved, really, during my years in telecommunication business. And THAT takes time. Deadline is by end of next week as there is one interesting job available in Vaasa, or kind of interesting. But this weekend I'm busy with floorball in Turku, where our season starts, in for both 40 years and 45 years finnish championship serie.
The online companies first try to pick the mistakes of the resume, why because a perfect candidate never approach any company for help, so they makes the candidate to feel like he is not perfect with that resume.

You are right Quinn, that's the feeling I got and i was close to call them up. If I do better work to analyse myself and my archievements then I should be able to write better CVs as well. That's what I will do first and then decide if any external help needed. ANd thanks for the link.
