Always depended on how confident I was in the subject. Usually just for the evening before except for my French and German exams as I didn't feel confident in them. I spent aggges doing those.

lol, yeah, you're right. i have french 1, but it is REALLY easy, so no studying needed! of course though, i learned spanish back in middle school, so french came easier.

kurandoinu · « **Reply #23762 on:** March 26, 2011, 06:27:25 PM »

I did French and German. Been a few years since I've used them though.

ALMOST finished this damned CV! Then I need to do some cover letters and actually apply for these jobs!

TiYlER · « **Reply #23763 on:** March 26, 2011, 06:35:13 PM »

hmmm, when your done, can I see this "CV"?

kurandoinu · « **Reply #23764 on:** March 26, 2011, 06:44:01 PM »

Here's the pretty much finished version. Just realised I forgot to put my website address on. Its fairly low quality to stop people moaning about load time.

And I made sure to remove my address and phone number

I never thought CV's can be so artistic, really great job there.

Does it have any effect on people? Well, obviously there will be but. What kind of first impression would this make? Just curious

Its the sort of CV I need for the area of work I want to get into. So hopefully the right impression!

Well I guess that explains it

Do you also need to dress graphic designer-ish too when you're applying?
I mean you need to leave that sort of impression right?

kurandoinu · « **Reply #23770 on:** March 26, 2011, 07:25:18 PM »

Most of these jobs are apply via email or post. Need to go and get a few of these printed up. Just struggling through cover letters now.

TiYlER · « **Reply #23771 on:** March 26, 2011, 07:28:18 PM »

What exactly is a "CV"? what does it stand for? (sorry, im only 15, dont know much of anything...) :'(

kurandoinu · « **Reply #23772 on:** March 26, 2011, 07:30:56 PM »

Curriculum Vitae. I think Americans call them Resumes?

Its so I can apply for jobs

TiYlER · « **Reply #23773 on:** March 26, 2011, 07:33:29 PM »

OOOOOH! well why didn't you say so? lol, the only resumes i've seen were a bunch of words and jobs they have worked $:-\$ , so i would have never guessed! but it looks awesome! where are you from anyway?

Meandola · « **Reply #23774 on:** March 26, 2011, 07:37:42 PM »

Well you're only 15 so it's not suprising you haven't seen the more elaborate CVs yet. They'll annoy the crap out of you later on, especially when you're dead set on making a great impression for a job you really really want.

Roven · « **Reply #23775 on:** March 26, 2011, 07:41:02 PM »

Ye I wouldn't know much about them either. I only applied once for Ikea for a part time job. About 7 people were with me but I was the only one picked. Then I turned it down, because they wanted to cut my hair

I know that's probably the dumbest thing I've done but, I'm glad that I still have my hair
