CV's

Post Reply New Topic

i'm in year 10 and i have just been told my my ASDAN teacher to make a CV and i've gotta say it's pretty confusing i had had helpe from the teaching assistans at school but i wanna speak to other people "in my shoes" if you will. and exchange some hints and whatever,

Sorry, but what is a CV? And an ASDAN?

CV is the abbreviation of the Latin "Curriculum Vitae" as used in British English as opposed to the French "resumé" in American English.

Thank you, RarePegs.

Black_Legion, what kinds of things would you be able to put on a CV at the age of 15? Advanced courses you've taken? Volunteer work you've done? An afterschool job? How about any extracurricular activities? As an aspie, you might have more expertise at your interests than an NT who doesn't have the aspie ability to focus. That could set you apart from the crowd.

When I wrote my first resume, one of the things I put was that I had been doing a little volunteer secretarial work at my church. I was also able to put my minister as a reference. There isn't much to put on a first resume, so I understand your difficulty.

thanks, i'll look around at more things i can get into

well, asdan is class that we do over here that teaches us things that we need to learn, and it is such an easy gcse they might aswell say, here you go now go away without even having to go into the class

LOL, I wish they had that class over here when I was in school

ahhhh man, I remember when I had to write a CV. I literally had nothing to write but the teachers wouldn't settle for nothing. In the end I didn't do one. Sorry I really have no advice for you. lol I just remembered, when I did make one my form tutor scrunched it up and threw it in a bin... happy days

I've made my CV charity work looks great on there so does Princes trust which is a 12 week course that goes down really well when you want a job
