I'm 16 and searching for jobs. It's so hard to find a place that's willing to hire a young person or is not looking for previous experience. This is very helpful

I'm 52 and just been made redundant. I have to update a cv and I have an idea what I have to do but trying to put years of experience into a couple of sentences is a proper headache. Thank you for this video. It has been a great help!

Great video! Would just add to make sure you use correct spelling, grammar and spacing and check multiple times. How you write on your CV says a lot about you. and how good or bad you would be as potential employee. You don’t want potential employers to think you are unprofessional.

My picture is on my cv - my cv is one page and I landed a job immediately - it is down to the type of job you are going for and making yourself stand out and be unique is key too. One page is relevant for more professional and specialist roles - just a suggestion.

Hey Ain! Thanks so much for the video. It could not have come at a better time as I have applying for some publishing positions on my to-do list for this weekend :) Is there anyway you could give some tips for a personal statement next? I never know what the best tone to strike is. How much wiggle room do I have to show personality? Should the tone be formal and professional or am I allowed to add a little more voice? I struggle with trying to find what I feel like is an acceptable balance every time. You touched on this when you talked about having your friend read your personal statement, but if you have other tips, I'm all ears! Thanks again!

this was a really helpful video. I am a musician and I've done so much freelance and volunteer work that I am not sure how to compact it down. Would it be best me putting something like; "I have done lots of freelance and volunteer work including..." It would mean I can compact my CV down and list just a few.
