I need some advice for an impressive CV in engineering field as i have never been invited for an interview?
Answer:
Short sharp and to the point. No more than 2 pages. Straightforward and honest.
I am happy to share mine with you if you want to contact me privately - it's got me through 9 years of Engineering :)
(I got your message requesting the CV - if you have replied, with your email address, please be patient - it goes to my work email but I have been off sick the past 3 days).
You need an impressive CV but you need some impressive achievements as well to get short listed.
in addition to a CV you need a good resume. If ur new to the field you may need to do an internship or a stwardship with a firm to get your feet wet.so i'd suggest looking for internships first
Mybe it is not your CV but the location of the jobs. At the moment, anywhere outside the UK seems to be a good bet.
What type of engineering and where in UK are you located?

it has to be from you because you know you.
Resume/CV making is a very crucial process for everyone who is serious about his/her career!
I would suggest you take some professional help from MS word which has inbuilt resume templates for making your resume.
You can also follow the step-by-step instruction to make your free resume, using the resume builder provided with MS office.
Resume styles differ according to profession, and sources of sample resumes are available in my profile, check my profile for more details, all the best :)
Today most HR organizations are using OCR scanning for keywords to "sort" through resumes, often before humans see it, the system has "sorted" the results.. If you have never had hits it is my suggestion to study the job listings for your industry, identify the keywords they use to describe the requirements, and infuse your CV with these words where you have actual experience.
If you need additional help, refer to the Helping Friends Career Guide at http://helpingfriendscareernetwork.com/a. there you will find a list of resources including job leads for the industry, and career help for getting the interviews.
Good luck in your search!

All good advice- all I can add is that a lot of engineers lack good communication and language skills, and your resume/CV is their first indicator of this so make sure it is grammatically perfect, with no typos or spelling mistakes!
