Basically tomorrow at my local shopping centre there is a massive job fare,w where most oft he shops come so you can apply for jobs. so basically I have to write a cv by tomorrow but I have no references from trident or work experience. All I have so far is my name and contact details :S
Closed by Lee (Forum Super Moderator): Due to bump.
you could lay it out like
NAME
(home number, mobile number, email)
PROFILE:
(eg, 'enjoyable to work with' and all that, big yourself up)
WORK EXPERIENCE
(list where you did work exp, what you did etc)
INTERESTS
(what you like doing, obviously)
EDUCATION
(write down your school name, GCSEs taken and what you're doing now, eg college/sixth form)
then you could write your address at the bottom
Write how flexible (what hours you can work) you are somewhere.
Put all your formal qualifications on? Or what you are studying to take if you haven't done your GCSEs yet. What you do outside of school. Which school you go to and have been to etc

I would like to take the time now to thank you for reading my Curriculum Vitea.
(Name)
I did exactly the same as Cocaine.
Well, my mum just made me one and I filled in the boxes. But it looked like that... :l
Don't worry, once you get going it's easy enough.
do you include things that you do that have nothing to do with work?
like sports you play?
Yeah you could put that as your hobbie.Quote:

Links above is what helped me with my CV and it must be good advice given to me seeing as I've had interests for my CV at certain places :P
Oh also I think the government do advice with CVs as well. Careers advice; yes it is http://careersadvice.direct.gov.uk/
ive just this hour had to redo my c.v as it needed updating :P
one thing ive picked up on is to make sure when u give any training / work experaince is to put the most up to date one first then go down from most recent to oldist.
refferances can be gained from anywhere really from training programs to colleges to work experainces or any volentering work anything really even from your school if needs be its just basicly someone who has knowen you and what u are like if you are punctual or not things like that so anyone u have been in a work enviorment is a good referance from.
Thanks for that, came in handy for me xDQuote:
