Cv writing Skills What is a cv?

Your first CV

If you haven’t had a job before, your CV may be a bit empty. You can still create a good CV by thinking about your skills, hobbies and education and presenting them well.

The point is to try and draw out things from your experiences that may be of interest to a potential employer. No, it’s true: they’re not particularly interested that you’ve been to the Isle of Wight.

However, they are keen to see that it was of some interest to you, and what you enjoyed and what you learnt. That may be a person they could use in their business.
