Difficult Work Experience

I have had conversations with young school graduates who have no idea what to include on their CV. This feeling is natural and can be very frustrating as they lack or have little work experience to land that special job.

Most employers request for work experience when recruiting for entry-entry-level positions and the practice has left most school leavers wondering how to secure the job when they have not been employed to gain the necessary skills and experience. Writing a catchy and great CV for your first job becomes a daunting task.

Experience

One of the most important thing for anyone seeking to write his or her first CV is to jot down what you have done.

The popular belief that you do not have experience is a disservice to oneself. You probably have more than you think. Think about what you did each day.

Even though you do not

You have developed a great time management skill and it's a skill employers look for.

A job requirements stating communication and customer service skills or experience may look like a hinderance to your job application. Have you forgotten your school debate which you participated and won awards and probably you have helped your parents during holidays to stay at the store and attended to customers. That's a good communication and customer service skills that shouldn't be ignored on your CV.

Cash handling skills is required by employers to work as a Cashier, Receptionist, Accountant and so on. There must be a moment you have handled cash for your thrift and saving society or for a group to carry out a special project. You can add such skills to your CV. Include experience that shows you are reliable. You can use this to think through any part-time job you have
