"Writing my CV"

Have to write a CV so I can do a jobshadow thing sometime soon.

What can I put on my CV besides my personal details (name etc) and exam results?

You shouldnt just say where you worked and leave it at that paradox. You have to give details of what you done there, what you learnt/achieved, what you enjoyed about it.

My CV kicks ass, every position ive used it for has got me an interview.

I was told not to by some people. My aunt however made me put it on. I did and my CV was said to be exceptionally well written.

Yeah mine had my name in size 20 font and bold letters. Mind you, not sure how well it went down yet...

Trust me on this one Paradox. They know what a CV looks like and it's much more benefitial for you if they can remember your name instead of the words "CURRICULUM VITAE" written in bold size 18 letters across the top. Do as you will though:P

I've still got a few years to before then..... :P

Well, I think it IS needed.

However I'm only in the drafting stage.

Rule Number 1 when writing a CV:

Never, EVER! Write "CV" or "Curriculum Vitae" at the top of it. They know what it is and it's far more benefitial to plaster your Name, Address, Phone Number and E-mail address at the top of the first page and then your Name and Phone Number as a footer on every page.

Apart from that I think everything is either pretty self explanatory or everyone here has already said it.
