Just wondered who is actually GOOD at doing a Cv how often it is updated?
And what about covering letters what type of things do you include?
Thought I'd post a few examples to get the ball rolling.
Would be helpful if others could post their covering letters and cvs (Remixed of course with made up adresses etc etc)

Miss Kelly Seehya,
Personnel Manager,
Oldschool Foods Limited,
346 Net Road,
Out -of the ends,

Dear Miss Seehya ,
I am writing to enquire whether you have a vacancy in your company for a Quality Assurance Manager. I enclose a copy of my CV for your consideration.
As you will see from my CV, I am currently working for Gepo Foods as the Senior Quality Assurance Technician. In my present position I am responsible for managing all quality assurance in Gepo Foods' Manchester factory. I have worked closely with the Production Department and have been able to identify problems before they affected production deadlines.
Over the last year I have implemented BS5750/ISO 9000 throughout our factory. This meant rewriting many of the company's procedures and in some cases creating new procedures. I successfully obtained accreditation at the first attempt within the Board's six-month timescale.
With my proven ability to manage and maintain the highest QA standards whilst also minimising costs, I feel that I would be able to make a significant contribution to your company's management team.
I would be grateful if you would contact me if you have any vacancies in your company, or keep my information on file in case of future openings. I would welcome hearing from you.
Yours sincerely,
Norman Normal
Norman Normal.

If you're writing in response to an advert, use synonyms of the same words they used. They will say they are looking for somebody with qualities ABC so you tell them you have qualities ABC but don't use the exact same word.
Pay attention to repeated key phrases, that's the ones which are important to them and play that bit up on your CV. If they talk about safety for example make sure your safety qualification and certificate ref is highly prominent on your CV.
