FAQ

Common questions

What if I've never had a job before?

Use school activities, projects, and volunteer work in place of a work experience section.

How long should it be?

One page is more than enough for a first-time applicant.

Should I include my age or date of birth?

No — this isn't required and isn't relevant to your qualifications.
