Can't add much to what has already been said except to stress that in the job market your CV is hugely important - a firm looking to fill a post is not going to waste time agonising about the deeper you and your possible motivations. For them, life is too short.
You've got to tell them just why they should employ you and your CV is, initially, the only way you can convince them of that.
I strongly recommend you take very careful note of what has been posted by random.swirls. She's obviously been much involved in the past and knows what decides those doing the initial trawl whether to "bin it or retain it". If you don't even get past that initial trawl then forget it. And, depending on the job, I would take particular care over the spelling, literacy and presentation of your CV - it represents you and your standards - and, if you want the job, you've got to impress and not come across as sloppy and careless and ill-educated!
Good luck! And bounce samples/specimens/straw men across those who've offered help on the thread ...
Tony.
