I have tried as hard as I can to write the best CV I can. Yet I feel that it will be overlooked. Is there a way I can make it more dynamic or show that I have a great personality which should be as important as my skills?

Also, I used to get told that you could tell a potential employer at interview if you were nervous but now I wonder if that is still the case? I do not seem to be able to handle the interview stage well and cannot give the best of myself. The style has changed to one where you really have to think on your feet and give examples how you personally did this, that and the other and how you came to the end result.

Is there any advice you can give me to stop me feeling like a nervous wreck please?
