    I've been struggling so much in the employment section, which led me to just putting it off but watching this really made me what to finally finish the last section of my cv, but a quick question, Is it really okay to take job description from google and change it a bit to put under your employment section? I'm worried they'd call me out on it or see it as being lazy :(

    • @deetalks7766
      @deetalks7766  3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      The job description is an outline of your roles and responsibilities, which is always outlined in a job advert. Of course, the purpose is to use this as a starting point and then add extra responsibilities you have picked up along the way. But it’s fine to use, as it is literally a description of what you did! Thank you for your kind words as well it means a lot and I am happy to have helped ☺️☺️ xx

    • @deetalks7766
      @deetalks7766  4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      You would just write how many you did pass and the grade range e.g. if you got 8 out of 11 GCSEs then you would put 8x GCSE (A-C)

  • @kelceyfirth
    @kelceyfirth 3 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    I’m only 16 and bc of covid I haven’t had chance to do work experiences so could I put things like that I’m a member of my town’s youth forum (leadership skills, public speaking), house captain at my sixth form (leadership role, looking after younger students) and that I help lead drama sessions at the local youth club? This is the only sort of experience I have unless I find somewhere to volunteer at once covid is over

    • @deetalks7766
      @deetalks7766  4 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Then you would still include this experience, but you can add on some reasons behind working there and why you are more interested in your new chosen field of work...also highlight any transferable skills you have gained from these jobs

      You don’t need to put your age on your CV, you can add your date of birth if you wish. But they will know your age once you get the job ( from your ID provided) and pay accordingly ☺️
