Does anyone know how to make up a great CV? Mine looks terrible!

I've run a successful recruitment agency so will upload an example of a great CV for you and post the url here. I hope this helps.
NB: this candidate has many years experience and so the CV is longer than average - its best to be concise; maximum 3 pages. You can always expand on your skills and achievements at interview, so be brief and only include the most important info.
From a professional point of view: it is fine to use bold/underline - in this day and age you need to stand out from the crowd - but definitely don't use smilies, pictures, etc.

Father, we know that in Your great wisdom and providence You allow things to happen in our lives that almost wipe us out. We can be so discouraged and defeated. It will seem like everything is all over. There is no hope, and in those dark times, we need the truth, because only the truth can set us free. You are a God who will forgive. You are the God who raised Jesus from the dead. He is alive and He is coming back. Help us, Lord, to understand that. Help us not to be depressed by the circumstances of life when we have a Savior, who has saved us out of all of this. Help us to look into His beautiful face, by faith seeing what we see in the word, knowing that one day, literally and physically, we are going to see His face as the Bible says. Thank You for our precious Lord Jesus—our resurrected, living Lord. We give You all the praise and all the glory. For it is in the name of our Messiah—our Lord Jesus Christ—that we pray. Amen.

Hi There ,
1. Make it SIMPLE and PROFESSIONAL
2. Use TIME NEW ROMAN, ARIAL or TAHOMA font
3. Make it BRIEFED, 2 pgs. for experience less than 5 years .
4. Attach a simple COVERING LETTER , briefing your experience and furture career aspects
5. DO NOT use images , smilies , frames ...etc
6. START with your "Career Objective", then Education, the Experience, then Professional Training, the Personal data
If you need any help or formats , please e-mail me !

Make the information relevant to the company who is hiring you.
No underlining, or fancy fonts, just Times New Roman will do, maybe highlight Contact Details, Undergraduate Education, Work Experience, Achievements, Professional Qualifications in bold,
Keep leisure interests to a minimium
Don't leave any gaps in your work history,
hopefully you can keep all of it to one page only.

Yes lie a lot, like the rest of us and use one of Word's templates... phrases like good team member, works as effectively as a team player as on own, I understand the mechanics of business and solid work ethic are all good to use....
good luck

My best advice would be to follow one of the templates in 'word'
