Does seem like the "standard" changes over the years... I've been thinking of redoing mine soon because it seems outdated. Plus it's too long now that I've been on the job > 10yrs, so I have to summarize things a bit better.

Hmm, my guess is that there isn't a standard way, as I have had three pro's tell me the way it's laid out is good only to be told 'no that's not the way to do it', reply 'tell me whats wrong' after the arts graduate tells you to sell your self and do & that the phrase 'well we offer a service to rewrite CVs' reply 'Oh do you Hmmm', it a scam!

That's a good trick though. I bet people fall for it.

I'm from Northern California. We don't have accents. 
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

The only time Californians don't have an accent is when they're not talking, which is why most people like Californians without an accent.

That still doesn't stop you having an accent.
As a Brit living in the US I find that, although I don't have an accent, everyone around me except my wife and son seems to have one!

My point was that many people within the US do not consider Californians to have an accent. Southerners have a drawl, northerners have an accent, midwest, etc, but within the US many people don't think Californians have an accent.
Of course, outside of the US, I'm sure it sounds that way.

I kind of thought that most people here in Texas would have an accent when I moved here. It is surprisingly difficult to find someone that has an accent that you would associate with Texas.
People speaking with an accent of a predominately Spanish speaking nature are more prevalent than Texas drawls though.

Same thing about Atlanta. But turns out most people in Atlanta aren't from Atlanta.

Mostly the same here.... I have met more people from out of state than actual Texans. Most people I meet here are from Mexico or..... wait for it..... India.

Me either. More here than I would have thought. Might be the area of town I live in too. Intel and Freescale have a campus not too far away.

I don't hear my son's accent (a Northern California native) but I do hear his friends and the people I know and work with. It now also sounds a little odd when I hear a British accent on TV but I don't notice it when I speak to friends on the phone or go back for a visit (too cold, really )

Cough, cough... There is no such thing as a British accent and the United Kingdom just so happens to have some of the biggest accent differences within just a few miles(Cambridge/Norwich accent for instance, less than 65 miles separation and the accents are completely different)

Fair point though I was dumbing it down for this side of the pond.
I have a NW London accent which is quite different from a sarf London accent or an East London or Essex accent which is not quite Estuary English which is nothing like a Bedford accent which, whilst close to Luton, is a little different and so on and so forth.
