CV??

[Blonde Donkey]

How do i write a CV? I have to do one for my UCAS application but have absolutley no idea what to put in it.

I think fashions in cv's change but it used to be recommended to keep it short. Personal details (ie name address) first. Then either work experience or qualifications (depending on what the cv is for). Emphasis on relevance - ie most recent work experience or latest qualifications. Finally briefly put in some interests and non relevant experience ie( first aid cert or driving licence). Then referees.

I am not quite sure what UCAS is but I am guessing it is a collage course so I would think make sure you set out that you have the necessary qualifications and set them out first. Then the interests or work experience that would fit you for that course. And then briefly, the personal bits that show what a great person you are.

GOod luck, I am sure there will be others much more up to date than me on all this

UCAS is the University application site, very confusing and very difficult, maybe just me lmao.
Basically what I have on it is my personal details, school history, work history, my grades, work experience and my hobbies. It is quite small because tbh i'm only 18 and haven't done much really.
Thanks

hey BD, what i have on mine is as follows: full name, address, home telephone, mobile telephone, email address, date of birth, marital status (lol), nationality (if you want to)

education and qualifications, starting with most recent: name of school, type of qualification, subject, grade, date

career history, starting with most recent job; employers name and address, job title and brief description of duties etc. and why you left their employment - dates you worked for them

other relevant training and achievements if you have any

you could include a short personal statement summing you up and your personality and strengths etc.

hobbies and interests
