Please help with my CV - Willing to go back to the UK

[zzoollttaann]

Dear Everyone!

I need some help. I've finished my studies in the UK and got back to my country (Hungary) - which was a wrong decision after all. Because here is nothing to do with PRINCE2. However I'm really passionate about this method.
I would like to use my knowledge and experience in any way but all I get back is a rejection or no reply.

I would be thankful for any advice on my CV.

Thank you and
Best Regards,

Zoltan

Seems OK if not thrilling. Tough to get jobs at the moment, I suspect.

[zzoollttaann]

Thank you for your reply.

And yes. More than tough to get even a response.

I know a young Dutch man with a recent computer science degree who has had great results by posting a good CV and links to his project work on Monsterboard Holland. He's had several serious employer enquiries. Maybe you aren't play it right at the moment?

[zzoollttaann]

I'm sorry but what do you mean with the last sentence?
"Maybe you aren't play it right at the moment?"
I guess its because my english..

And lucky guy the Dutch one. Or I guess pretty good.
All I do is send my CV with the Poster of my degree even for a basic IT job application but no reply or negative one.
I think I'm good at this field. But on the other hand of course I'm aware I'm from another country.
Still..if they don't give a chance, how can you prove?

[cvsage]

Sorry. Typo. "Playing it right". Do as the Dutch guy does. Don't wait for jobs to which every other loser applies. It's cheaper for them to recruit low level people on a job site and that is how they prefer to do it it these days. Saves them reading ten zillion dreadful CVs and means they can pick and choose who they want to bother investigating. It's free and you are remiss if you don't do it.

[zzoollttaann]

I see. I'm online now.
And please if you still think there's something with my CV then don't keep it in your head.
Thank you for your help!

[cvsage]

Good. Good luck buddy. Be "proactive" as they say... The world is not a supermarket; it's more of a jungle where you need to be able to find your own food.
