I'll give it a check over if you'd like. I'm usually fairly good with these sorts of things.

I'll take a better look at it tomorrow as I'm on the iPhone now....BUT it's all over the place and needs a proper format.
Thing is with CVs is that they look fine to you but in reality they need to be changed a lot to suit employers. Mine was 4 pages long and after an arse kicking and professional advice it's now on 1 sheet of A4 on both sides and has had nothing but positive feedback.

-you have helped your Dad carry out work, not 'do work'
-no commas before the word 'and'
-unless the job is in Australia, do you really want to bring it to their attention that you may not stick around once you've got the job?
-also, you may wish to use the word 'efficient' somewhere in the first paragraph

Have not read the whole thread, but it obviously depends on what type of job you are applying for. You have a range of field specific terminology and that's fair enough if you are applying for a similar job.

besides the out bit of grammar thats excellent,I run my own company and a short but informative cv like that would catch my eye..as apposed to a drawn out summary of a persons life.
Im not sure on the position of the job but as far as the cv goes I think thats good.Perhaps highlight titles or change to a different colour if you havent already? Anyway
