Gaz Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 (edited) Employers don't really give a shit about your hobbies (unless they're in some way relevant to experience needed for work). I know that it's difficult filling in a CV at 19 when you have bugger all work experience, but try to fill it with as much relevant information as you can, even extra-curricular stuff from school or voluntary work experience and stuff like that.

Donnyarb Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 How would an 18 year old that just finished school in May go about writing a CV? Just list my address details, school qualifications and hobbies? Do you not just fill in the boxes? That's what I do, easy enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 A voluntary one. It's a lot harder to get a job where people are paying you to do something, particularly these days, so just filling in boxes wouldn't cut it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donnyarb Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Was in the common room and heard this song, don't know what it was but I think one line is, "I wanna get close to you, right now", or something along those lines, any ideas? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lisa Cuddy Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 is going to the cinema with three girls a good shift or downright gay? If you end the night with a new pair of mittens and a balaclava, it's definitely not gay. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
