I am applying for part time soon. About 500 people will be applying, and there are 300 jobs, the people that will be applying will be around my age (18)

 

I want my C.V to stand out. I want a good layout... and maybe have some colour added to it.

 

has anyone got any examples for inspiration... or any tips?

 

Thanks

Use invisible ink

Just be yourself in your cover letter Will, don't go over the top with funny fonts and colour - try this link:

It is a great read

What job are you applying for? In the past I found that tailoring my CV to a specific industry/role was better than just having a generic CV churned out to people.

I found this a good idea too

Thanks for the replys guys

 

The job I m applying for is at a holiday park.. so it could just be general shop work etc.

 

But the reason I want a good C.V is because there are 300 jobs going and around 600+ people will be applying.

 

 

Which of these C.V's do you recon will be suitable for the sort of job I am applying for

If it isn't for a design role, then go for one of the simple and elegant ones mate - stand out from the crowd... but not too much lol

What shall I use to make the C.V

 

Fireworks?

 

PS?

 

Word?

I would personally use inDesign and convert to a PDF file - but also supply a word document just in case

Word or PDF format is best for recruiters/employers.
