ok im a 16year old boy and i want to try and get a job at subway and i need to copy and paste a CV into the online application form ive never done this before and don't know what kind of things i should put in a CV for a job like this so if anybody on here could help me i would appreciate it veeery much :DHelp with my CV? please (:?
1. Name and Contact Details
These should be written clearly at the top of the document. This means recruiters can easily add their own details to send to employers without disrupting your original format.
Remember to give a good impression, include your full name and try to include a professional sounding email address without any abbreviations or joke nicknames.
2. A summary section
This needs to be fact based, not subjective waffle like “I am a dynamic team player”. State what your core experience has been, what industry you have operated in and if relevant the customers you have responsibility for.
3. Skill Set
This should be short and too the point, for example extensive knowledge of computer software packages, articulate, excellent interpersonal skills, customer focused, good attention to detail (look at the criteria on the job spec for ideas and match it to you.
4. Career History
Reverse chronological order. Most recent first. Give the years and months, your job title and then the company name.
Then underneath this, give a line or two about the company, what it makes or service it provides, the turnover and number of employees . This gives your role context.
Bullet point your responsibilities and achievements. This is the most important element of your CV, if you have NO work experience concentrate on your Skill Set, education and summary.
Repeat the above steps for each of your roles, if each of your roles has been a step up then you can give them less weight/space on your CV by only including any relevant highlights.
4. Education
Put education at the end. The qualification, year and awarding body should suffice. If you feel a particular module or study is relevant to the position you can include it if you so wish. You will not need to list A-Levels or GCSE’S unless these are listed in the criteria of the role.
5. Interests
Unless you do something particularly interesting or have some sporting or artistic achievement feel free to leave this section out rather than write that you like socialising with friends, long walks with your dog and reading romantic novels. Remember you are trying to make yourself stand out from the other candidates.
6. Referees
Finally include a line that informs the reader referees will be available upon request.
Employers will be looking for reliable, trustworthy, customer focused individuals that are outgoing and want to do well, develop and learn skills usefull to their company ie food Hygiene, customer excellence standards.
Concentrate on buzz words similar to those in a job description for subway it is POSITIVE, THRIVE IN A BUSY ENVIRONMENT, Work as part of a team, follow procedures, customer focused, customer satisfaction. If you can mention something about health and safely or Hygiene all the better. DO NOT add photos or weird font.Help with my CV? please (:?
Things such as honesty, work to a deadline, works well with others, polite.... things you woild expect to see from a subway worker
