your CV before it even gets in front of a person and buzz words like teamwork,
enthusiastic etc. will help your CV through this stage.

bits of this template or include little graphics and colour here and there to make it personal; it should
be a reflection of how you want to come across to anyone who reads it. This is just a starting point if
you are stuck for ideas on how to lay it out.
