CV Help

[Nitefly]

Hello all,

I'm just about to send out a barrel load of CVs in attempt to get bar work or something similar for the summer. I have the following heading on my current CV:

Work Experience
Relevant Skills and Experience
Education
Other Experience and Personal Interests

Writing them out like that is a bit of an 'experience' overload, but it looks find on the actual thing

They are currently in that order - do you think that is best? It's just I feel education isn't really relevant for the work I'm going to be applying for, so I've opted for work experience first. Thoughts?

Change work experience to employment history . Work experience sounds like your doing GCSE's .

Good shout

If you were going for a first law job then I'd probably put the education section first as it's the most relevant until you have a year or twos experience in a solicitors to name. However in this situation it makes sense to put your employment history first, if you've got any customer service experience then you may want to expand those sections in preference to other less relevant experience.

That's what I thought, thanks

Printed off about 20 copies and just going to mooch around in town tomorrow giving them out... oh dear

Thanks to all for their input
