Yes, Anne is pretty bas ass when it comes to the resume, lol. I'm pretty darn good at putting them together as well. I just did my boyfriend's resume last week. I'll PM you with my e-mail address. :)

Keep it short & simple, 1 or 2 pages at most.
Employers seperate CVs into pro's and cons at a glance, cluttered or too much info it goes straight in the bin... you'll be able to expand on it all at interview.
