As a school-leaver, you may not have access to your results, so you can put down your predicted ones, as shown above. Your best results should be written at the top.

It is also very important to include the date when you finished school, as this gives the reader an indication as to how old you are.

Work Experience
Starting Date – Name of workplace

Describe how long you worked here, what you did and responsibilities and any contact details.

This is the section where you explain what work experience you have gained. Include the date, company name and information about what duties you carried out on a daily basis.

You can also include information about any voluntary work or part-time jobs that you may have had, following the same format as above.

Key IT Skills

Other Details
Interests:
Let the reader know what it is that you like to do in your spare time. This just gives the interviewer a personal insight into you, and something to chat about at the end of an interview.

References: Employers like asking for references, so make sure you to include names of past
employers and/or persons who potential employers can contact to find out more about
you.

Do not include your date of birth on your professional CV – if it is present, then the document could potentially be used to commit fraud.

Try to keep your CV to one page, as you won’t have that much experience so won’t need to extend to two.
