So I'm polishing up my resume (CV for you non-american types)...this is my first time looking for a job outside of college - I graduated at a time when having a degree guaranteed at least 3 or 4 job offers - so I want to make sure I get this right.
After many hours of googling, all I could find were samples of UK CVs. I have found little information on the expected format and included information on a NZ CV.
Steve has a few relevant links on his website (finally read through that whole thing. Wow you have a lot of information there. Thanks for making it available, and amassing your great list of links), but there's only one sample available:

Is this the standard way information should be presented? Does anyone else have samples of CVs? It's quite different from what is expected here in the states (I do recruiting, interviewing and hiring). Summarizing all my work experience and accomplishments is difficult enough - not because I have a ton, but it's just hard being succinct. Plus, that skills table is kind of odd.
Any help is always appreciated. Thanks Taffy and Steve for making such good resources available to all of us trying to make our way to "paradise".
