If you have never held a paid position, your CV can still show that you can complete relevant work. Use the worksheet below to turn activities you already did into evidence for one job advert.
Collect four examples
Write down a school project, a community activity, a short placement and a task you completed independently. For each, record the date, purpose, your contribution and a deliverable. Leave a row blank if that experience does not apply to you.
Translate an activity into a CV entry
Under Projects, write a descriptive title and date. For an attendance project, a bullet could read: “Created a weekly class attendance summary in Excel and checked class totals before submission.” State whether the project was coursework, volunteering or placement.
Choose and order the evidence
Select the examples that match the vacancy. Put the most relevant section after your profile. Add education and relevant training, and use an experience label that accurately describes the work. Ask a teacher, mentor or supervisor to check the wording before you submit.
