Morning all!
Moneyspider ((hugs)) - i am looking for a new job and it is just so hard now with the qualifications or experience they are asking for for what seem like very do-able jobs - i think some of it is a reflection of the economic climate - 1 job i wanted to apply for was a receptionist - i didn't apply because one of the essentials was a degree in something to do with computers - the wages were only basic too. I had a moan on my thread the other day about my cv too - i have had some good experience in the work i've done i just don't seem to be able to phrase it properly on my cvi thought i'd finally found a place to help me get a professional cv done - spent about an hour on the phone yesterday being given different people to ring and was all a waste of time still got no-one to help me
So i am just going to have to keep persevering
We will get there x

Does seem daft - who doesn't have experience of cleaning?! :rotfl:
Well people who hires cleaners I suppose, or live with their Mum;)
Good luck with the job search moneyspider. It does seem crazy doesn't it, they only want people for a job if they've done that exact job before... Madness, how's anyone supposed to get experience in the first place.
There are various sites which give tips on CVs etc. The direct gov website is one place to start. I have problems writing mine too, I have qualifications to the extreme but only very specialised work experience and then what to say about the time I was unemployed without sounding like I just sat on my !!!! all day doing nothing (which to be fair I actually kind of did, I was so apathetic and depressed about everything).
I'm sure you'll find something just try not to get too discouraged.0 -
