Hi everyone! At the moment i am working on different cvs as i apply for jobs. However, im having loads of problems with perfectionism! I do have struggles with this in all my work and in everything I do and it's becoming a real problem!)

So this particular cv is for a job I really want. I am so stressed over it I'm tweaking it non-stop, sending it for feedback and such from the careers service. They seem to think it's ok. However I got a free critique from an online service and have been liasing with the lady who did it, she thinks it could have a lot more punch and has given me ways to improve it.

It's just making me so so anxious. I spent all day yesterday on the cv, trying to improve the layout, trying to make myself sound more like an achiever (which doesn't come naturally!) And I still don't think it stands out. I just feel a bit deflated, there's so much competition in the job market I feel like unless my cv is top notch I'm just going to get discarded. I know that's quite a negative view to have! Hopefully it's not the case...

Yesterday I ended up feeling quite poorly with a headache. Yet I still couldn't stop tweaking my cv. As soon as I got up this morning I was looking for ways to improve it. I want to give myself some time away and then maybe I will have a clearer Head, but I feel guilty or something. Like it won't be good enough! Argh it's just a nightmare.

Just wanted a bit of support and stuff I think! Maybe some success stories!

Thanks for reading!
