Yay, Got a job interview on my own.

I posted a couple of months ago about a firm of solicitors approaching college to get students to apply for a job. I was disappointed I didn't get called for interview and didn't understand why.

Well another firm of solicitors has approached college asking for CV's and I have an interview on 30 July which I'm really looking forward and can't stop thinking about.

But, in the meantime I thought it best to apply for other jobs just in case I'm unsuccessful in the first interview.

I've just had a telephone call inviting me for an interview on Wednesday and I'm really over the moon, especially because I got this one all on my own. I took posters advice, re-did my CV and made it look 'jazzier' but still being truthful.

Just wanted to tell people and thank the posters who gave me advice, even if I don't get this job it's already boosted my confidence.

Brilliant, good luck.

Smile, but dont grin. Lots of eye contact also.

Try not to be too nervous.

I was, I think that's why I'm so pleased with this to have got an interview just from them seeing my CV.

Thanks for the replies.

I mainly took the advice given on here.

I kept my personal details simple - Name, Address, Email Address and Telephone number.

Then my personal profile was quite descriptive, what I can do, what I learnt on my college course and how loyal and dedicated I am and how eager I am to improve my skills.

Then work history - I just changed the layout.

Then education - but deleted irrelevant certificates.

Then references.
