part-time job cv, any tips?

Question

i'm trying to write a cv to apply for a part-time job while in uni, i got no work experience in the UK, so any advice? Thx!

Answer 1

you can use Microsoft template it will guide you through and all you have to do is fill in the appreciate information you will find the template on Microsoft word help and you pick the one to suit you most

Answer 2

You say you don't have any work experience in the UK, do you have any in other countries...this counts too!

THink about things you might have done at school and uni and the skills this would show a potential employer - e.g. were you a prefect? This shows leadership, commitment etc. Where you in a sports team? This shows you are a team player etc etc. Did you do any work experience at school (e.g. a weeks unpaid work somewhere), is there any blagging you can do - e.g. unpaid work where you've helped parents/friends etc. I think the other answerers have given some good tips re layout. Try www.monster.ac.uk for some more ideas and templates, also try your uni job shop to get a foot on the ladder, they might have some roles that don't require any experience which would help build your CV (e.g. helping out with experiements on campus, giving guided tours of campus to visitors). Best of luck.

Answer 3

Dont go over 2 pages, keep the format clear,
Name
Address
Contact numbers
Email (If applying online)
Personal profile
Key skills
Achievements qualifications or qualification working towards.
Employment record

skills should be clear and enhance what would be required for the type of role you are applying for, achievements & employment should be completed most recent first, even if work experience is not in this country you could mention you will give email addresses for references on request, never just give referee details on the email, you can add date of birth but it is not essential.
Part time or full time work doesn't make a difference, Wow them with your CV and head it Curriculum Vitae, Good Luck!

Spell check it too!

Answer 4

Try the personal touch, Walk around the town and go in the shops,leave your CV,then pop back a few days later. Most part time jobs will go very quickly, I employ people,I admire people that make an effort,if people come into my office I always get back to them,they get the first chance when a job comes up. I know its a modern world and emails are quick and easy,but employers like to see faces-especially if they are looking for people to work with the public. Good luck

Answer 5

A Part Time CV is EXACTLY the same as a Full Time CV.

ALL your qualifications (including grades), and ALL jobs (regardless of the country they were in) MUST be listed in FULL.
