I have just updated my CV to the above. I found it really quite difficult to narrow it down to just this. My previous CV wasn't very 'Graphic Designy' and had all my other jobs on like bar maids, waitressing, gyms etc and hobbies and interests. I think it still needs editing as I'm not overly sure everything that's on it is relevant nor am I sure I have gone into enough detail about my design skills... Anyhoo this is what I have so far.
