Hey

In my CV I combine thew experience and skills. For each job I put a short blurb about the job, then list in bullet points my 'key responsibilities and achievements', when i went looking for work last time, that seemed to be the stock phrase, so for example

The Very Big Corporation of America
Feb 1766 - present

I worked at TVBCA for several years as an executive assistant. This role entailed preparing paper aeroplanes for the executives, harassing secretaries (for which I was awarded with several restraint orders), compling lists of the best internet jokes and general tomfoolery as required by my supervisors. My key responsibilities and achievements included:

- Won the 'Most pathetic haircut' award at the 1879 annual awards
- Developed several new ways to goof off while appearing busy
- Attended numerous training courses on knitting (these were taught by an absolute hottie, so my actual knitting knowledge may be lacking)
- Helped redesign the officing filing system. I was given this opportunity after accidentally knocking over all the filing cabinets in a drunken stupor one Tuesday morning

Etc

Funnily enough, my firm is also having cutbacks at the moment. I am in the strange position of having been assured I am safe, but knowing that my wife and I plan to move to Europe in about 3 months. I have jsut met with the boss to explain this and suggest they fire me, however he says they wont. It is a little surreal.
