Looking for my first part-time job, I'd like tips for writing a CV?

We Answered:

Use a Template from Word to get an idea on what to write.

Be clear and concise, and list any extra curricular activities you do, and the skills you learned that can be applied to real life "2 years basketball" skills = working together as a team, being able to make quick decisions, able to set goals, and understand the processes involved in achieving that goal.

Write a kick-*** cover letter- this is important if you want YOUR resume to stand out from the rest.

Write what YOU can bring to the business-

"I am happy, bubbly giving your customer a great shopping experience" and
"I am a confident outgoing person with a great work ethic"

first time writing a CV any help or tips?

We Answered:

1. Make sure to inform the reader that you were not, repeat, not sexually abused by a playful uncle as a wee nipper.

2. Red ink sells.
3. Newspaper cuttings are an appropriate form of literary media. Language which is considered abusive/threatening is also considered acceptable.
4. Posting doctored images of a prospective employer in a compromising position with a farmyard animal is considered normal practice.
