Any gaps where you were
1) in prison 2) at jobs for such a small amount of time and don't want to declare them 3) when you were working illegally 4) anything other gaps you want to cover up just find the name of a firm that went bust, and stick yourself down for 10 years there.  |

Don't - whatever you do - include a photo of yourself !
And remember, a cv should be no longer than 2 pages of one side only entries. A typical ' read life ' of a C V by a prospective employee is about 30 seconds. So short, pithy and to the point entries. Start with a short paragraph on what your work ethic is and what you can bring to the business. Followed by bullet points of career to date( by dates)starting with most recent. Keep qualifications to the point. Eg 10 GCSE passes at A and B) is all that's req. not every one detailed ( I.e Cooking or R I ) Keep it short about yourself. One line on interests is enough. Not half a page on each of your hobbies ! Last but not least READ THROUGH your CV checking for typos etc. then! CHECK AGAIN. I've read through hundreds of cvs in my time in business. Any with spelling mistakes went straight in the bin. You're looking for someone who is conscientious and has attention to detail. If they can't even be bothered to check that their CV is correct, then they're not of the right stuff. |

Public school, Oxbridge, and double-checking the spelling on their CVs. |

Eg 10 GCSE passes at A and B) is all that's req. not every one detailed ( I.e Cooking or R I ) I am honest, diligent, punctual and if you treat me right, in about a year, I'll let you keep your job. 1951 Born. 1969 Became a man. 2014 Still here, doing the bizzo. Exams studied: All the core subjects. Exams passed: None. Exams taken: None. Gissa job, or your wife finds out about the woman you meet in town on Saturdays. |

It is not looking good for you if your opening post is anything to go by. Too many errors in spelling and punctuation.

The Bhoys, my CV was fine tuned by the clever people at the Work Programme. (I think they made it worse).
Before they got their claws on it i saw an independent adviser, recommended to me by my then dole advisor. The same applies when you don't want the job. You apply for jobs beyond your skills so you can put down the five jobs or however many you have to apply for in a week, so as to not face sanctions. The whole thing is ridiculous really. My dole agreement is to apply for a minimum of One job per week - part time. Good luck. |

i made one this week first one i ever done and , said i worked at places for six months and a year ans so when in reality i was there a few weeks in some
most dont check as long as you dont tell too much sh1te |

22 Aug 14 18:30 My dole agreement is to apply for a minimum of One job per week - part time. If you keep applying they may find you a crap job. You need to ask the correct questions in order to get turned down: 1) If your prospective boss is an asian ask 'Can I get time off to go to BNP rallies?' 2) If your prospective boss is English white, ask 'I'm a muslim, is there a prayer room here?' 3) If your prospective boss doesn't care if you're a BNP member or a muslim, ask 'What are the fiddles like?' or 4) 'Does that fit bird in reception do a turn?' or 5)'It must be my lucky day, just 2 days out of prison after serving 7 years and I get an interview just like that.' |

It makes no difference what you write.
If they deign to give you an interview, you will be either 'in' or 'out' in the first 30 seconds of it, the rest is all waffle. |
|
By:
It makes no difference what you write.
Oh yes it does! What you write will determine whether you get an interview. Or do you think they throw applications in a hat and do a lucky dip? |

Sad times for Glimmer on here. I remember when he came across as quite intelligent, these days he seems a bit of a knob. And it pains me to say that.

It makes no difference what you write. Oh yes it does! What you write will determine whether you get an interview. Or do you think they throw applications in a hat and do a lucky dip? Well I've seen some pretty intelligent people on here over the years who would more than qualify for most jobs. But I've also seen people post 'If the CV has spelling errors, or isn't written in black ink, it goes straight in the bin.' And if you get an interview based on your CV, it's odds on you won't be the only one attending. What you wrote was roughly the same as all the others who are getting an interview. How you look and speak will get you the job, or lose you the chance, in under a minute. For example, I know all there is to know about the betting industry concerning horse racing. I would attend an interview smartly dressed. But with what are described as my 'dulcet tones'  as well as being partially deaf, you wouldn't want me answering the phone for you. Some people will do whatever it takes to land a job. I can change my usual scruffy appearance (I hate shaving) for an interview, but I'm facked if I'm going to abandon my cockney accent. And if I never got a job because of it (never happened) it wouldn't have been my loss. |

If you are not the cv writing type then ask around your network of friends and family. They may know of an opportunity and recommend you for an interview or trial without going through all the formal stuff.

By:
Or lie through your hampsteads, the same as everybody else.
|
|
By:
depends what level your going for, road sweeper you can pretty much say what you want, no one gives a sh1te. But job with skills, then lying will just make you look a complete knob in the interview.

Pumphol, where is your input on this thread?

Where did you spring from on a thread like this?

If it was a CV on how to be a racist troll I think your input could be significant.
People have written over the years how someone is probably trawling the thread in his pants & vest in a dingy bedsit somewhere in the inner cities, never really thought of anyone actually being that way but over the weeks you have changed my way of thinking on that score |
