Where can I get a good template for doing a CV?

Work Experience and CV's....?

• Hello, I am having problems getting a placement anywhere for my work experience, after sending various emails and letters, none have replied, has anyone got any tips on what to mention or maybe even a template, i am interested in something practical, and preferably to do with animals, i live in the UK and I'm restricted to North Yorkshire, so basically, something practical in North Yorkshire preferably with animals, i was thinking either a vets, police dog handler, or, Bewerly park activity center. My second question is about CV's, I have heard others talking about it, but how come i don't have one, I'm only fourteen, but, were do i get one, and how much, and what the hell is one? haha, thanks for your time guys, scrappy question but i hope you can try to understand it! :) :D

• Answer:

  OK, first things first. You need to open your options up much further. All the places you have mentioned are specialist areas of animal husbandry. Have you tried local rescue centres and more importantly farms, ie, sheep, pig or cattle. Remember there are only so many vets in an a town so if there are 2 schools in your area with 100 students wanting work experience in the same week with animals you are really cutting down your odds of getting in anywhere. Now CV's You write a CV yourself, about yourself. It cost nothing but time, printer paper and ink and a few kilobytes of storage on the computer. It usually has on it your name, address, date of birth. school, grades achieved or in your case expected. Whether you can drive or are IT literate. What hobbies you have, do you volunteer time to any place like a charity. Ate you a member of Cubs, Scouts, Guides etc It is a brief summary of your life to date. And I do mean brief. You could spend days writing the perfect CV for a job and the person who reads it will take about 10 to 15 seconds looking at it. Tough life but there it is.
