Had enough of the current place, with distance etc. Found another job more/less on my door step doing similar job for bit more money. I've been in my current job for 8yrs (straight from school), and yes it's okay but want something else now. But I can't remember how to write a CV  What needs to go on and i've got some crap grades (personal reasons) so want to try and avoid them if possible.
Cheers.

From memory, mine just says "References available upon request" and most employers i've applied to have given me a form to fill out with referee's details

and in particular with this senario as you've been with your current employer since school.
Assuming you havent told your current employer you wont be able to put them down as a reference and the new employer wont care about your paper round from 10 years ago.
