Why you need a CV

A CV is your first chance to promote yourself. A good CV might get you a job interview.

You usually need a CV to apply for a job or to give to an employer you'd like to work for.

Tips for writing your CV

Employers get lots of CVs to look at and have to decide quickly who they're going to interview.

When you write your CV, remember to:

use a clear font like Arial, Times New Roman or Calibri in size 11 or bigger

always use the same style throughout

use headings and bullet points to make it easier to read

be clear and to the point

get someone else to read it to double check your spelling and grammar

Information you need for your CV

Start with the job advert for the role you're applying for so you can look at the job description, essential criteria and the company details.

If the job you're applying for does not have a job description, you can look at our job profiles to see what skills you'll need and the typical things you'll do in that job.

You should write your CV to match the job and company you're applying for to improve your chances of getting an interview.

Sections for your CV

Your CV should include a section for your contact details, an introduction, your education history, your work history and references.

Contact details

You need to let employers know how to contact you if they want to offer you an interview.

You should include your name, phone number, email address and a link to your work network profile, if you have one, such as LinkedIn.

You should not include your age, your date of birth, whether you're married or your nationality.

Introduction

This is a few short lines that sum up who you are and what you hope to do. It should go just under your name and contact details.

Make your introduction sound like you're the right person for the job.

Education history

You can add this after the introduction if you're early in your career or do not have much work experience.

If you have a lot of work experience, you might want to change the order and show off your work history and experience first.

Whatever order you choose, you'll need to include the:

names of your qualifications

name of the school, college or university where you studied

dates you attended

Work history

You should include details of any work placements, volunteering and paid jobs you've had. List the most recent experience first.

You should include:

the employer name

the job title

the dates you worked there

what you did, usually 2 to 3 lines using the STAR method

Gaps in your work history

It's normal to have some gaps between jobs and work experience when life events happen.

You can read our advice on how to explain gaps in your work history.

Short work history

If you're applying for your first job, you can focus on skills you've learned through projects, work experience or volunteering.

You can also include your interests and hobbies that show some of the skills you have. For example, if you're a captain of a sports team, this demonstrates leadership and organisation skills.

References

You might want to include a section about references if there is someone who has agreed to give you one. This could be your current or previous employer, a teacher or someone respected in your community.

However you should not put someone else's contact details on your CV. Instead, you can say that 'references are available on request'.

Speak to an adviser if you need help

It's ok to feel overwhelmed or confused about how to write a CV, especially if you do not have a lot of work experience.

A careers adviser can help you work out what your CV should say and get you on the path to your dream career.

Active Essex

As this week is Mental Health Awareness Week, our Active Essex Mental Wellbeing Steering Group hosted a special meeting in which young people were invited along to discuss how exercise can benefit mental wellbeing. In particular the group were interested in exploring the ways in which the Essex ActivAte programme and all the organisations within this can support children who may be experiencing poor mental health, and how clubs can overcome barriers to getting active. The meeting included Active Essex team members, representatives from organisations with experience in delivering Mental Wellbeing Hubs, and two young people (Liz and Holly) who have attended clubs run by these organisations.

We hope that by speaking directly to young people and specialist organisations across the county, we can gain a deeper understanding of how to maximise the mental wellbeing benefits of physical activity, help overcome barriers to physical and mental wellbeing, and develop our understanding of how to support those with poor mental health.

Barriers to new activities

The main barriers that Liz and Holly referred to in relation to trying new clubs or activities were the competitive and aggressive nature of many sports, and fear of the unknown. After discussing these barriers, the group talked through a number of ways to overcome these barriers. These included communicating what a session will look like in advance of attendance, sharing stories from participants to put new people at ease, having a buddy system or peer support in place, and being open and understanding to every young person attending a club. In particular a number of steering group members said they had seen the positive impact of introducing a buddy system within their clubs, with children feeling more comfortable, making friends and being more open to trying new things as a result.

Activities for those with Anxieties

Interestingly, Liz and Holly suggested that group activities may actually be most suitable for someone facing a mental health struggle such an anxiety, as they would not need to be the centre of attention, therefore they suggested activities such as dance, athletics and other 'friendly' team sports such as rounders. However they also felt that there should be a variety of activities on offer, as everyone's mental wellbeing is different, so some people may enjoy independent activities, less competitive sports or a calmer environment.

Food & Mental Wellbeing

Liz and Holly quickly highlighted that eating nutritious foods can make your body and mind feel better. They did however also note that it's important to enjoy treats as a reward sometimes, and that people should not be too hard on themselves for enjoying a treat as part of a balanced diet, as putting too much pressure on yourself can also lead to mental health difficulties. When conversation moved onto eating disorders, Liz and Holly had some really powerful ideas when it came to making someone feel more comfortable, including providing a distraction to avoid making food a focus, or talking about a subject that a person is passionate about. Notably, these suggestions can also be transferred across to anyone facing mental wellbeing struggles, as activity providers can use fun activities to provide an escape for some youngsters, or to open the door to conversation.

Family Support

Within this final discussion point the group explored the importance of involving families when supporting the mental wellbeing of young people. Steering group members placed significance on inviting parents/guardians along for a chat before, after and during sessions, to build a community around a young person. As such, families can also share ideas and support one another, to help tackle social isolation and loneliness. When supporting children or families in relation to mental wellbeing, everyone agreed that it's vital that club/activity providers are able to recognise the signs of mental health difficulties and offer support, but most importantly signpost to qualified experts who can advise on the best route forward.

We would like to extend a huge thank you to Liz and Holly who came along to share their views. Their input and the views of experts within the steering group will be used to inform future decision making across the Essex ActivAte programme, the wider work of Active Essex and of our partners. Off the back of this meeting, the Essex ActivAte team have already begun plans to enhance mental wellbeing support on both the Family Support page and important signposting information on the Partner Hub. The steering group will also be sharing their learning with our network of locally trusted organisations, so that every club, programme or activity session is inclusive and supportive.

Over the past week our partners have been speaking to young people at their clubs and sessions to ask how they look after their mental wellbeing. Take a look at the slides below to find out what they said...

VIY and Sport England announce £2million partnership

To coincide with International Volunteer Day (5th December) 2020, VIY and Sport England are pleased to announce a new three-year, £2million partnership involving 4,000+ young volunteers helping to renovate and improve 225 grassroots sports clubs and other active community spaces and places in need.

More than 60% of the projects will be located in local communities among the 20% most deprived nationally.

Projects will also be match-funded and delivered in collaboration with other stakeholders such as national sports governing bodies, local authorities, and building and construction sector employers, as well as key VIY partners Dulux and Travis Perkins.

Sport England Director of Sport Phil Smith said: "Local sports clubs and venues have never been more important. They provide places to play and ways to stay fit, while bringing communities together in a tough time. This partnership between Sport England and VY will play a significant role in helping make our sports facilities better, while giving the many brilliant young people involved the chance to develop new vocational skills and boost their employment prospects."

Learn about your skills

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The term ' Life Skills ' refers to the skills you need to make the most out of life.

Any skill that is useful in your life can be considered a life skill. Tying your shoe laces, swimming, driving a car and using a computer are, for most people, useful life skills. Broadly speaking, the term 'life skills' is usually used for any of the skills needed to deal well and effectively with the challenges of life.

It should therefore be clear that everyone will potentially have a different list of the skills they consider most essential in life, and those that they consider unnecessary. Someone living in a remote rural community might put driving a car high on their list of essential skills. A Londoner or New Yorker, however, would probably rank that pretty low.

This page is therefore designed to provide a broad general introduction to the concept of life skills and point you towards other pages that you may find useful for developing your skills.

Defining Essential Life Skills

There is no definitive list of life skills.

Certain skills may be more or less relevant to you depending on your life circumstances, your culture, beliefs, age, geographic location, etc. However, in 1999, the World Health Organization identified six key areas of life skills:

Communication and interpersonal skills. This broadly describes the skills needed to get on and work with other people, and particularly to transfer and receive messages either in writing or verbally.

Decision-making and problem-solving. This describes the skills required to understand problems, find solutions to them, alone or with others, and then take action to address them.

Creative thinking and critical thinking. This describes the ability to think in different and unusual ways about problems, and find new solutions, or generate new ideas, coupled with the ability to assess information carefully and understand its relevance.

Self-awareness and empathy, which are two key parts of emotional intelligence. They describe understanding yourself and being able to feel for other people as if their experiences were happening to you.

Assertiveness and equanimity, or self-control. These describe the skills needed to stand up for yourself and other people, and remain calm even in the face of considerable provocation.

Resilience and ability to cope with problems, which describes the ability to recover from setbacks, and treat them as opportunities to learn, or simply experiences.

It is also true that different life skills will be more or less relevant at different times your life. For example:

When at school or university, you'll need study skills. These may include understanding how to organise yourself for study, do research, and even write up a dissertation or thesis. These are not skills that everyone will need, but writing skills are likely to be useful in a variety of careers and jobs.

When buying a house, you may need to employ negotiation skills, and you will certainly need plenty of patience and good temper. These skills are also likely to be high on your 'essential life skills' list if you have children!

You'll need to work on your employability skills to get a job, and will also need to think about how you apply for a job, and how you might cope in an interview;

When you have a job, you may need to develop leadership skills, especially if you need to lead teams or groups;

When you start a family, you'll need parenting skills. You may also find that time management and organising skills become much more important.

However...

...perhaps the most important life skill is the ability and willingness to learn.

By learning new skills, we increase our understanding of the world around us and equip ourselves with the tools we need to live a more productive and fulfilling life, finding ways to cope with the challenges that life, inevitably, throws at us.

Most people associate learning with a formal education, but learning can, and should, be a lifelong process that enhances our understanding of the world and improves the quality of our life.

Looking Beyond the Obvious

It will be clear that Skills You Need has many pages that can help you to develop these important life skills, and lots more.

These skills fall into a number of areas, including personal skills, interpersonal skills, writing skills and numeracy skills. Each of us already has a number of these skills; equally, we will all recognise that there are particular areas that could be improved.

Personal Skills

Personal skills are the essential life skills we need to help maintain a healthy body and mind.

These skills include many of those on the World Health Organization's list, such as resilience, self-control and self-awareness. They include skills such as how we recognise, manage and cope with emotions. You can find out more about your personality type on our page Myers-Briggs Type Indicators (MBTI) and our page Keeping your Mind Healthy is also worth a read.

Being able to manage anger and stress can also be essential life skills. Learning about anger and stress, recognising what may trigger them (in ourselves and others), what the symptoms are and how to control or manage such emotions can greatly enhance the quality of our lives. You can find more about how to cope with stress in our pages on Stress and Managing Stress. We also have a section on Anger and Anger Management.

Many people battle with low self-esteem and confidence, which can cause stress and prevent them from reaching their full potential. Our pages Improving Self-Esteem and Building Confidence provide practical ways to overcome these issues.

Our personal skills pages also contain a section on Caring for your Body, including more on the importance of food, diet and nutrition, and why and how you should exercise to remain healthy.

Interpersonal and Communication Skills

The second important area of life skills is interpersonal and communication skills. These are the skills that we use to make connections with other people and are therefore an important part of what makes us human.

Communication skills are generally seen as a subset of interpersonal skills, as are decision-making and problem-solving, but both are important enough to consider in their own right too.

This is such a huge area that you may find that it is worth taking our Interpersonal Skills Self-Assessment Test to find out how good your listening and other interpersonal skills are.

Communication and other interpersonal skills cover a huge range of skills, including:

Literacy: Reading and Writing Skills

Most people communicate, at least some of the time, using the written word-through letters, emails, reports, text messages, social network feeds and a host of other methods.

Being able to write clearly and concisely is a very powerful way to communicate, either one-to-one or to a much larger audience. We provide articles that will help you to improve your written communication and learn or refresh your knowledge on some of the fundamental rules of writing.

Our Writing Skills section includes lots of help and practical advice to help you improve your writing.

Numeracy Skills

Many people struggle with maths or numeracy. Developing or refreshing your numeracy skills, however, can give you a real boost in life. Better numeracy skills can:

Make you more employable;

Help you to develop a better understanding of the world around you;

Save you time and money; and even

Improve your mental health.

We don't all need to be great mathematicians, and we're certainly not all rocket scientists, but an understanding of the basic principles of day-to-day numeracy, arithmetic and maths will help to open many doors.

See our Numeracy Skills section for easy-to-follow, real-world examples of basic numeracy. There is plenty there about particular areas of maths that may be a struggle. The section also contains useful information about real-world maths, including budgeting, understanding interest, and loans and savings, all of which could save you money in both the short and longer term.

Lifelong learning and personal development

When you look at this list, it will probably be clear why a willingness to learn may be the most important life skill of all!

There are so many important life skills, but it is also important to remember that you have been developing these skills since you were born. Continuing to learn and grow is only an ongoing part of that process.

You should include details of any work placements, volunteering and paid jobs you've had. List the most recent experience first.

You should include:

the employer name

the job title

the dates you worked there

what you did, usually 2 to 3 lines using the STAR method

Gaps in your work history

It's normal to have some gaps between jobs and work experience when life events happen.

You can read our advice on how to explain gaps in your work history.

Short work history

If you're applying for your first job, you can focus on skills you've learned through projects, work experience or volunteering.

You can also include your interests and hobbies that show some of the skills you have. For example, if you're a captain of a sports team, this demonstrates leadership and organisation skills.

References

You might want to include a section about references if there is someone who has agreed to give you one. This could be your current or previous employer, a teacher or someone respected in your community.

However you should not put someone else's contact details on your CV. Instead, you can say that 'references are available on request'.

Speak to an adviser if you need help

It's ok to feel overwhelmed or confused about how to write a CV, especially if you do not have a lot of work experience.

A careers adviser can help you work out what your CV should say and get you on the path to your dream career.
