16yo review for accounting apprenticeships

Just finished year 11 so not much experience. I'm homeschooled and only did 5 gcses. Would a different format be better? Any tips welcome!

How can I improve my CV?

I've been using this cv for a while now and I've never once gotten an interview or any sort of offer, I think my CV is the issue..

Not getting any interview for the last year

I wasn't able to get any first interview in the last 12 months, why is so? Does this cv seems too AI-made?

[5 YoE, Technical Program Manager, Targeting similar roles, Germany -> USA]

Hey everyone,

I will be relocating from Germany to the Bay Area on a dependent visa.

I’ve hit that point where I’m staring at it too long and feeling insecure about whether it actually hits the mark.

I haven’t started applying yet because my final moving date is still a bit up in the air, but I want to get this locked down so I can hit the ground running.

Targeting: Program Management (PgM) roles.
Company Scope: Open-minded, ranging from FAANG/Big Tech to agile Startups.

Thanks!

Please could I have some feedback on my CV?

Hi all,

I'm 17 years old and I've recently updated my CV and would appreciate some feedback on it please. I have some more experience that I haven't included and I understand it is conventional nowadays to have a "key skills" section but I don't have space for it currently so I would appreciate if you guys could let me know if there's any wasted space. Thank you!

Honest feedback on CV

I’m applying for various entry-level finance roles in Ireland and haven’t had much success getting interviews so far.

I’d really value honest feedback on my CV, especially on how I can improve it for hiring managers and recruiters. All criticism welcome.

Looking to make my first CV, but...

​Hi everyone. I'm a bit lost. I'd like to create my first CV but I dropped out of school at 14 and spent my days playing video games until I turned 24. What should I put on my CV? Should I lie? Ideally, I’d like to get into sales because I want to improve my social skills. I truly believe these are the most important skills in life.

Recently posted and got slated, is this better

I'm an 18yo school leaver looking for any job to get some cash before uni next year and was wondering if this is good, I've incorporated a lot of the changes you all suggested (although not all)

18yo without much non academic experience

I'm applying for entry level jobs, think supermarkets etc, and I was wondering if you think this is any good? I understand it'll always be a bit tough cause they'll know I'm going to uni, so probably don't want to hire me cause I'll disappear in a couple months, so I'm wondering if there's any good way around that other than just miss it off? Plus is there anything much you think needs changing on it?

Edit: I've made some changes, what do you think? https://www.reddit.com/r/CVwriting/s/lShhLpPs5C

how to improve CV

I do have my name, phone number, and email on there too, they're just not visible in the screenshots. I've applied for 60+ jobs in the last few weeks and have not heard back from any, I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong? how can I improve this CV? I put this together mainly from seeing how other people's were structured and it's been rewritten a few times now and I'm still not hearing back from any employers

(UK) Trouble finding work due to gaps in my CV

I'm an actor who has been working on and off, however this has meant my "day" CV is full of gaps and short stints.

I'm aware this turns a lot of people off, is there anything I can do to make myself more appealing to employers?

Thanks

What's the problem in it?

I've been applying to work continuously, but I didn't get any response from them. Even if I get a response which is an absolutely negative way without feedback. Is it really a problem with my CV or something else.

u/Ancient-Ear69 — 3 days ago

I keep getting rejected. Help with my CV?

i’m applying for retail, hospitality and general minimum wage jobs but I’m not hearing anything back. I’m also handing my CV into places but that’s not working either! I saw a careers advisor, who created my CV for me but it still feels very generic. Advice please 🙏

Lying in CV | Need help with listing previous jobs

I am applying for a position at a bigger IT company, and I believe that I have a lot to offer. I am only 20 though and I am not sure if I should even list any previous jobs, because I didn’t have any and i’m not even sure if it’s even realistic. I’ve read that I can list old companies that have closed down so no one will tell the boss that I didn’t work there, but I don’t know how do I find them or how to lie about working there properly.
What do you think ? And how do you lie about your previous jobs without getting fired ? Thanks 🙏🏻

Just completed a PGCE, how do I list this?

I'll put it in my education and qualifications section. But it was essentially a full time job in 2 placements with occasional university days. Do I list each placement separately in the job history section, and then the stuff I learned on university days in the education section? (Despite developing similar skills at all 3 locations)

Or do I have my PGCE training as one thing under job history and combine the skills I learned at all 3 places?

This is for applying for non teacher jobs btw.
