How To Write A CV

I'm here to help you with something pretty IMPORTANT today. I know the thought of Cv's can be daunting but it's just a document that employers want to see, so that they can hire you... that's pretty much it, no point losing sleep. 

Once I've made my Cv does it have to stay like that forever? 

No, it's not as major as you think because you can change it at any point in time, when you've just finished a job, from volunteering to a permanent job, write about it and just show other people that you do have skills in different job types. You will constantly need to add random achievements... this could be some kind of record... I don't know if you sleep for about 50 hours straight and have a world record for it... but hey... it's an achievement.

How To Write A CV

I'll just simply explain how to make a Cv now:

Step 1 to making that Cv:

• Load up the software you do all your writing and stuff, so for me, that'd be Microsoft Word, which I do recommend because of how simple it is. You could go for Microsoft Publisher but remember... it's a Cv... so don't get ready to write a poster with 50 fonts and every colour in the rainbow, you're not some can of beans on half price that Tesco just want to get rid of.

Step 2 to making that Cv:

• Your "Headline" needs to be your name. There is no point in writing "Roslyn's Cv" the person reading it will have full awareness that it is your Cv, don't point out the obvious. 
• Just underneath you'll need important information like, your address, your phone number and your email.

Step 3 to making that Cv:

• Now the long bits of writing where you want to make yourself stand out from everyone else.
•  So I suggest that your first heading is a slight Summary, just keep it brief, a few key skills that you want to highlight... maybe you're a master problem solver or love working in teams and turning up to places on time... companies will want to now that. 
• Then you might want to write about your Skills, so just go into depth about the things you wrote about above, maybe you love being on time so much that you've been on time every day for school for 5 years.
• Tell them about your Work Experience, maybe you worked in a flower stall or you babysat your friends little sister... write down what you had to do and how it benefit the company or your skills.
• One of THE MOST IMPORTANT things is to write down about your Education. You've done your Gcse's? Write them down. You've done A-levels too? They'll want to see them. You've even been to University... might want to write that pretty near the top... that's an achievement and a half.
• A few little extra topics you can write about can be Hobbies and Achievements. Maybe you'll be able to connect to the job a bit better writing about them.

There's no more steps to making that Cv... I hope this has been helpful. The younger you are, I know it is harder to get jobs but try your best to just send your Cv round and keep getting experience, who knows when it'll give you the upper hand.

Best of luck from me
