After 6 months unemployed and blaming the credit crunch, I've decided to be a little more proactive in my job hunt (the redundancy money is running out though secretly I'd still like the rest of the summer off!) My CV has been reviewed by an online expert for the princely sum of £10 and I got the following advice back.

You need to qualify and quantify each of your achievements by showing measurable results. A helpful way that you can do this is to use STAR - Situation - Task - Action - Result - as a template for each of your bullet points.

I've had a go but I'm struggling as I'm trying to use positive words to identify success and it makes it very wordy. My CV is already at 2 pages long which is apparently the max it should be.

As an example to help me, how would you STAR the following 2 achievements? Don't worry if you make up lies, it is a CV afterall!

1. I was the Technical Business Analyst, Project Manager and Development Team Leader on this 6-month project to create a new DB2 database with a web front-end and CICS/COBOL back-end.

2. Project Manager on a new billing project to replace the old monthly billing with a new daily billing system. This included development and QA teams, DBA's and senior managers in the finance department as well as working with two offshore development teams.

This is my attempt but I don't think it follows STAR very well, but, like I say, I'd like to get the message across in less, not more words.

1. Technical Business Analyst, Project Manager and Development Team Leader on a 6-month project to create a new [product name removed] database and website. Organised design meeting across 4 separate companies to design a system that overcame management concerns over security and data sharing.

2. Project Manager on a new billing project to replace the old monthly billing with a new daily billing system. Coordinated two offshore development companies so they could work together effectively and successfully deliver the project on time.

It isn't easy. I can do the job, just can't write the CV to get the interview!

Thanks very much.

I always though CV's are short, non wordy and easy to follow.
S~Project Manager Billing Contracts
T~Develop daily billing system to replace outdated monthly version
A~Oversaw outscourcing to offshore development companies
R~Project completed ontime within budget
