Writing a good Curriculum Vitae (CV) or Resume doesn’t have to mean following a standard template or copying one off the internet, it should be specific to you and the job you are applying for. This document is usually the only kind of communication you will have with an employer in order to gain an interview and so should be a document you are proud of. You should think of your CV as an advertisement of you nothing more and nothing less.   Many people will apply for a role with a generic CV just hoping someone sees something they like, not realizing that quite often over 100 candidates have done exactly the same thing.

I saw the New Year in with a BBQ by the sea, feeling very settled in my new home. 2010 was going to be the best year I could just feel it. The countdown to midnight, watching the amazing fireworks at the Ritz Carlton and champagne in hand, I couldn’t be happier.  To celebrate my husband and his friends decided to take a dip in the sea, it was around 20 minutes into 2010 when we realized our house and car keys were floating somewhere on their way to Cuba.

So there I was sat around the pool of our apartment staring out to sea looking considerably healthier than when I stepped off that 747 two weeks before. Surely it doesn’t get better then this? Then I discover the Cayman Islands Sunday Brunch.

                                                                     

 Like many of us, I spent years travelling to exotic tourist destinations, sat in a bar with my husband talking about what a dream come true it would be to live there. In reality we didn’t stand a chance of experiencing the dream by just passing through exclusive hotels.
