    I'd say the CV should be less than a page. The cover letter should be what wows them.

    Firstly for the cover letter i would write a little bit about yourself and what you can do, why you should be chosen for the job and why, what skills / grades you have and how they can help the company.

    I would recommend that your main CV should be no more than 2 pages and should include the following:
    Name, address etc
    Personal profile - who you are and what you can do e.g i can use a computer, i am a good time keeper
    Any grades you have achieved
    Any work you've done - voluntary or paid

    I have left for now but may return in the future!

    You could include your GCSE grades but it really depends on what kinda job you're looking for. I recently got a job. 390 people applied, I got in, I didn't have my Junior Cert results on the CV but that's in a shop so it really depends on the job.

    Best of luck

    Deffo include that you work out and have a strict (ihopesobrah) diet. You can say that you respect yourself and other people/ anything else related to working out like confidence blah blah blah.
