Fantastic I highly recommend this company they compiled an amazing resume and cover letter in PDF format and word, don't worry if you find computers frustrating as I do they will book an interview with you over the phone. The consultant took about a hour (less if you have everything organised which I did not). Also they will sort out your LinkedIn profile if you have one. Again amazing. Thanks again for your help. Rob
