Quite a few jobs I've got over the years is by actually stepping out my front door & visiting people
CV's have to be one of the worst things invented, They're just boring
Once you've read one you've lost interest & they all read very similar
I'm going to put a portfolio together when I plan to get back into the working world to show what I can do
a photo would guarantee me not even getting a interviewOK some years back, but when I was recruiting Engineers for industrial computer field service I'd get so many responses that trawling through the pile of CV's you had literally seconds to decide if they were 'possibles' or 'no thank you's '
Once you had the 'possibles' pile than you could refine and grade it into those worth interviewing, and rank them. First rank get invited in for interview, the other are kept on the back burner as reserves.
So: Two pages maximum, bullet points of key features right up front, and a recent passport sized, but colour, photo attached to top right hand corner (most visible place when flicking through a pile.
And good luck John, I hope that you find somewhere where you are happier
