my first CV

[albis77uk]

hi lads, i just got my badge, and i'm starting to look for a job, so i need to create my own CV and i've no idea what to write. i wrote some basics like personal information, contact information, cualifications, who i'm as a person. so i'd like to ask u what else shoud i write? BTW i've no experience, so is there anything that can help to cover it up?

any tips are welcome.

When I started i had no experience, you have to start somewhere.
Just tell them you have no experience but youre really keen to get started in the industry (i would assume you were anyway as you spent all that money) and youre really exicted to learn new skills and use them to the best of your ability.

Albis, Jack gives you some good advice mate...you may be pleasantly surprised as to how many out there may be willing to help you get a foot on the first rung of the ladder. Remember, we all started somewhere, with someone giving us a break. 'Cover up' absolutely nothing, be honest with people and remember that you are engaging with a pretty critical audience within the industry...

Good luck mate...

try the CV service on this forum, Julian will contact you and write your CV for a small fee, he is really good and i have rescently recieved my CV,it is all done via phone and email, all you have to do is tell him your story and about you,try and get 2 written references as this will help but its not a necessity.

definately a good investment and he will also update it for you in the future.

best of luck in the future

albis, like the others have stated do not cover up the fact you are a new comer it will be no secret.
if you are a driver with own transport say so,
if you train weights, boxing, martial art, ect all need to know info
first aider also need to know stuff.
a good ds can reason with the public inside and outside a venue and eject a person or persons when required. the ability to work in a team and follow instruction are whats needed. remember you only have 1 chance for a first impression with a possible employer. make it count keep it simple be totally honest.
best of luck
