Hi HN,

I want to redesign my CV but I am no designer and have a hard time being satisfied with my own attempts. Are there any services / template sites you can recommend?

You can check out services like resumeonk. These people have got nice ready made templates.

Try Nemcv.com. There is only one design (candidates often hate this), because it is designed for the way that companies like to see candidates.

It allows you to focus on the content, not the style of your CV

Do you really submit your cv with a photo? Never happens in UK - and you're actually told not to.

It's not required here in UK but I do embed a small photo in the word document.
