So not well.


But spring has sprung! It's grey as a grey thing outside, but warm. Aah, warm. I've missed you.

Should now make CVs as Waterstones need weekend staff. Talk about my perfect job.
ETA: Anyone have *any* idea what I'm supposed to put on there? Name, address, phone number, experience, yeah. Date of birth? Um... interests? Skills?

Hmm.

Slept last night. O.o Woah.

Cute bloke. Same name as my brother. Such a turn off...

Lalalalalalalalalaaaaa means I love you!

Can you get high on throat sweets?

I'm almost an expert on CVs, after all the jobs I've been through, so I'll remember what I can...

-Cover letter (if necessary)
-Name
-Address
-Birthdate
-Phone number
-Email address
-Experience, from last job to first and a paragraph on what you did there and why you were so great at it
-Education
-Computer skills (even if the job doesn't involve computers - mention any browsers you use and whatever easy Microsoft stuff you know too. My "computer skills" section has now blown out to 40-odd programs, because I list absolutely everything I've ever learned)
-Hobbies and incidental skills (you'd be surprised. My beta reading got me a promotion)
-Short paragraph about why you'd be good for the job
-Closing statement about when you're available for interview, and something sucky like "Should you have any further enquiries, please do not hesitate to contact me at any time".

Hope that's helpful :)

Used that templat for my CV, so if I get the job I will worship and grovel at your feet, and if not I'll damn you for all eternity.

Kidding.

Cheers for the advice, love. Much appreciated. *hugs*

I would have said don't put your birthdate on there. But maybe it's different in the UK.

Mine has:
-name
-address
-phone number
-email address (and for the LOVE of GOD, don't use a corny-sounding one. Get one that's your first initial and your last name only. No hotstuff or anything like that)
-education (and put your GPA on there if it's good)
-experience (and talk yourself up! You want the job, after all.)
-computer experience. And yeah, I agree with the first commenter-- put everything you can think of on there. I list Word on mine. I know it sounds silly, but there are people who don't know how to use this stuff.)

Good luck!!

I generally put my DOB on there 'cos I'm not so *very* far past 18 and I tend to apply for either bar jobs or music shop jobs- both of which require DOB.

And... HA! hotstuff! Man, that's gotta be Snape's address, right? hotstuff@potionsworld.net

you laugh, but I've actually seen stuff like that!

Miss you, mia bella, and I hope you feel better soon. Now go to the doctor already, that's what NHS is for!

I don't think I could date anyone with the same name asa family member either.

*snog*

Pshaw. I'm fine. 'tis only the lurgy, and I'm not gonna die anytime soon. I think I'm gonna have to restrict my nightly surfing, however, because I've slept properly the past couple of nights and it's amazing how much of a difference it makes, mentally. My insomnia appears to have made itself scarce for the moment. Hurrah!

Our uni recommends:

name
address
telephone
email

DOB

short paragraph summarising your skills relevant to this job and what you want from it (if applicable, ie career job)

Qualifications (listing from most recent to first - if you've done a levels or equivilent then only put grades for English, science and maths GCSEs)

Experience (with descriptions of relevant skills from that job that will help in this one)

Interests and hobbies (with special focus on ones that might relate tho the job, but don't ignore the others)

Also, you must always send a covering letter. Always. Even if it's just saying the job you are applying for. It's polite and it help them know what the hell is going on.

This is,in brief, what we get told. Hope it helps.

Thankee very kindly. Wish my bluddy Uni gave advice on such things. Then again, I'm never really here long enough to notice if it did... *g*
