It can be a bit worrying choosing GCSE and A Level subjects, let alone further education choices, especially when you don't know what job you want yet . It doesn't have to be.

There are thousands of interesting opportunities and organisations all around the world. They may need someone just like you to come and work for them in a few years' time. It's just a matter of finding out what's out there, what interests you, what you would be suited to and what skills you will need.

That's where First Careers comes in.

Careers inspiration

While you've been busy at school, we've been busy checking out hundreds of organisations to discover the most interesting jobs. From a video game sound designer, to a food and drink manager on a cruise ship, to a football photographer, we've met real people with real jobs, so you can see for yourself what they do each day.

Careers advice with a difference

Our honest job profiles give a taste of what it would be like to land your dream job, plus many of our interviews are carried out by young people, so you get the lowdown on the things that matter most to you (like, whether maths is really important, after all).
Check out our careers library
PARENTS!

If you're not sure how to start a conversation about careers, or how to advise your children on possible careers they may be suited to, why not sit down as a family to watch a few short films, or read some of our day-in-the-life job profiles, then use them to talk about possible career options? Career aspirations start earlier than you think, so it's good to get kids thinking about their futures.

TEACHERS!

Looking for ways to introduce careers advice? Watch our videos in class or print out some job profiles to kick off a discussion about the types of jobs your pupils might be interested in. First Careers is a digital outreach program that brings careers inspiration into your classroom and helps give subjects real world meaning.

Work Experience Opportunities

After you have been inspired, keep an eye on our work experience opportunities tab where you will find the latest exciting openings to see first hand what it's like to work within some of the country's biggest and most successful companies.

First News

First Careers is brought to you by First Group Enterprises Ltd who also publish the children's newspaper First News.

Children can subscribe to First News at home. For details on our education products for schools visit First News Education.

How to write a CV that stands out from the crowd

8 May 2017

Presentation Skills

A great CV helps you stand out from the crowd. Remember that your CV may be one of hundreds received. Think about your CV as a short biography of yourself, a chance to sell yourself and interest the reader in you. Make them want you!
CV basics

Keep your CV to 2 pages max- don't be tempted to go longer.

Make sure grammar and spelling are correct - get someone else to read it before you send it.

Highlight your achievements and strengths - not just a description of what you do in your job or studies.

Personal statement
This should be no more than a few lines describing yourself, your skills and key achievements.

Who are you?

What can you offer to the employer?

What do you want to achieve in your career?

For some examples of personal statements check out:
http://www.lighthouseproject.org.uk/activities/employment/cv-tips-and-templates/cv-personal-profile-examples/
Employment and work experience

Paid or non-paid jobs

Volunteering

Work experience

Highlight what you have achieved in these areas. Don't just list what you do in your job. This is a chance to show off what you are good at! Examples could be employee of the month and receiving good customer feedback.
Skills and achievements

If you don't have any work experience yet and haven't had a job then you can leave the employment section out and focus on this part. This is where you should:

Match your skills with the skills the job is asking for. So for example, if a job asks for you to show planning and organising you could talk about how you planned a recent coursework project.

Show if you can use particular computer software or programmes, have a particular talent or skills that fit the job!

Talk about any key achievements, such as awards for projects, talents, performances, being on the school council, prom committee, sports teams etc.

Education
Education should be included from GCSE level onwards, with your most recent qualifications first, so A levels or BTEC then GCSEs.
Hobbies and interests
Here you can outline any hobbies you have and show how you like to spend your time outside of studying. Be interesting and different. If you don't have a particular hobby or interest that you can talk about comfortably it is never too late to start something. Do include hobbies and interests that are relevant to the job. If you're involved in any clubs or societies, this can show that you enjoy meeting new people. Interests like sports and physical recreation activities can also show employers that you are fit and healthy.
References
Unless the job application specifically asks for references to be included you can write that references are available on request. People such as close family friends, teachers and career counsellors are good to use as referees.
Personal details
This is where you put your home address, mobile number and email address.

I thought I would just be an office run around and making cups of tea.
Tay - software developer apprentice:
You just assume that you're just going to be on minimum wage.
George - horticultural apprentice:
There were many misconceptions about apprenticeships in horticulture, in the industry that I'm in.
Chanise - former apprentice:
I'm asking apprentices about the biggest misconceptions about apprenticeships.
Chanise:
What is an apprenticeship?
Tay:
An apprenticeship to me is an opportunity to do learning.
Katrina:
To work and learn at the same time.
Tay:
And you come out of it with qualifications to demonstrate your skills.
Chanise:
How did you get onto your apprenticeship?
George:
Looking online I just wanted to find a way to pursue my interest in plants and horticulture professionally, and I thought apprenticeships were the best way to do that.
Tay:
I went on search engines and searched software engineering apprenticeship.
Katrina:
I just looked on the government website and also at any careers fairs that were happening nearby.
Chanise:
Do you just get paid minimum wage?
Tay:
I didn't start off on minimum wage, and I've also had two pay reviews since I started and that was a year ago.
Katrina:
Some places might but here we don't get paid minimum wage.
George:
So, we get paid the National Living Wage.
Chanise:
What do you think about the myth that if you do an apprenticeship the qualifications you get are lesser than if you go to college or uni?
Katrina:
In my opinion, it's wrong.
George:
I think that's a little bit naive.
Katrina:
I'm doing a Level 3 which is equivalent to A-Levels at college.
George:
I feel that the experience you gain working practically on the job on an apprenticeship is invaluable really because it gives you proper practical experience.
Tay:
I think we're in an age now where work experience is quite needed. I've got a lot of friends who have come out of university with a degree, and they are struggling to get employment because they don't have that work experience.
Chanise:
A misconception is that if you do an apprenticeship, you can't go far in your career. Is that true?
George:
No, I wouldn't say it is true, I'd say that it was false.
Tay:
No, that is not true at all.
George:
To make contacts in the industry with everybody else, I feel like it can take you really far.
Katrina:
I know what role I'm going to go into when I come off my scheme, and I've also been made aware of promotional opportunities I can apply for as well.
Tay:
There are people in the company I work for started off as apprentices but are now in management roles or senior roles.
Chanise:
So, there you have it. To find out which career path or apprenticeship might suit you check out the BBC Bitesize Careers website.
