I work in I.T and I think you are employable at a junior level.

Have you thought about getting in touch with some agencies who will give you advice and interviews, its worth going to some interviews even if your not 100% convinced about the job to get interview experience.

Have you thought about some temping contract work whilst you are looking for a permanent position? It will get you some more experience to put on your CV

Employable as what? You would certainly be suitable for a number of jobs, but equally not suitable for a number of others. Did you have a particular job in mind?

If you are sending your CV off to potential employers you might want to check it for errors, I spotted a couple just glancing through. It might seem pedantic, but I have disregarded CVs before because of spelling mistakes. This becomes especially important if you are applying for something in a popular field.

In my views, not easily with that CV.

You need to be make the CV be tailored to the job that you are applying for, and only mention stuff in it which is of some relevance, and explain how your experiences and skills are of use to you in the job that you are applying for. You're trying to sell yourself for the job, not give them a bit of bed time reading so make it a lot smaller, and make use of all the page. Don't cram everything in, just big blank spaces are of no use or interest to anyone.

You want to make use of the skills when writing your CV which you are claiming to have. It is of no interest to anyone what subject you took at school or college, knowing what grades you have got is. And make sure you make good use of spelling and grammar in your CV, as capital letters are not just to be used at random times in a sentance.

So a lot of work needed I think, but with fine tuning and making it relevant to the job you are applying for then you should stand a better chance of getting the job. Thumbs Up

Jon - Your CV needs tweaking. Less about your hobbies which take up nearly half a page - more about the courses you have done and relevant work experience. Also did you get GCSE's? It's not clear on the CV.
I wouldn't even bother listing what you did as a Bakery Chef - it is irrelevant. On any covering letter or email you will need to explain why you left the IT role and got a job in a shop, because that looks strange.
We don't do IT here so can't help but try anyone of your local employment agencies. The only company I know in Cirencester is EHS Brann, might be worth looking at their website to see if there are any jobs going there!

Good luck
