Writing a CV/Jobhunting

[Niall]

This is a hard one for me as well. At the age of 23, I have had only two jobs; one of them newly this year. My first job as a cleaner I got when I was 19 (well, nearly 20) my second job as a postman on a 5 hour a week contract which is more "proper" than cleaning is something that I was very lucky to get and that I am very greatful for. I went to uni (total waste of time and I am just not a 'uni' person) in a subject that I am really not that interested in (IT). I just scraped uni and without experience I can't get an IT job anyway. So yeah. Without any content to put on your CV you are f*cked, basically. The best CV in the world is no good without a work history.

Not essentially true. Everyone has to start somewhere normally when they leave education. A CV is like a car advert. what would you buy? a 306 that just says 'for sale, runs alright' or one that goes into detail with any damage, good points, economy, history etc?
