Teen needing job advice!

[Samueltastic]

I'm currently half way through an apprenticeship and enjoying it. I did my college course but didn't want to go to uni so looked into apprenticeships. Really enjoy it. To be honest I personally see it as the way forward for most people as you get paid while you learn and get the hands on experience.

Very bare is a slight understatement. Do you have anything you have done to put on it? Sports teams, youth club leadership, joined any sort of club at college? Any work experience???

If not, then at least look at what the apprenticeship/job advert states are the required skills and state that you have them on your cv. Also, I would write a cover letter explaining that although you don't have much experience you are really interested in the opportunity they are offering (be specific to show you are keen, why do you want to be a technical engineer? why do you want to work at their company?...). With that CV you have to go the extra mile otherwise you'll never get a look in.

edit: make sure you menton that you have good social and interpersonal skills as I imagine an apprenticeship means you'll be working with people.

Great post, that's what I'm after! I didn't think about adding stuff like that, d'oh!

I'll make the required changes now.

EDIT: How would I add in that I was part of the school football/cross country team? Could I just place it under my grades? I also made my profile a little longer. I guess I'll just need to use a covering letter if it's still not enough.
