A commitment of Bootcamp (if you are not doing Bootcamp via your existing employer) is that you agree to go in to work as a driver once you are qualified.
If after qualifying, you are not prepared to do this and provide us with evidence of a job offer, you are not eligible to continue with Bootcamp & we must withdraw you.

Please remember that TRS will help as much as we can to assist you to find a role as a driver, but we do expect candidates to keep their CV updated & to be regularly looking at any relevant roles & applying for them & regularly communicating this to us.

The Hazard Perception is not on the app unfortunately and has to be accessed through a web browser, we recommend candidates practice the HP test on a screen that's 15" or larger.

The app interface looks different from the online version.

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.

3. 139 Action Verbs to Make Your CV Stand Out

When writing your CV, it's important to avoid weak and passive verbs, stay away from business jargon or clichés, and watch out for tired words and phrases. These faulty word choices can undermine the strength and effectiveness of your CV. Instead, make a point of using powerful action verbs and avoid overusing the same verbs (such as "assisted," "oversaw," and "utilised").

Action words are specific, clarify your contributions, and bring a confident tone to your CV and list of accomplishments. Here's an example:

Lacks strength and clarity: "Held weekly status meetings to share client updates."

Empowered and detailed: "Initiated weekly status meetings to communicate agency revenue growth."

Can you see how the second option is stronger and more detailed? The action verb at the beginning of the sentence makes your contribution clear and impactful.

Read more: 6 Universal Rules for Writing Your CV

Combine your selection of action verbs with quantifiable results to show both what you did and the effect it had. For example, "Championed use of user feedback in program improvements, resulting in 50% boost in customer satisfaction ratings."

Select from the following action verbs to give your CV an edge:

To demonstrate your strong work ethic or introduce your accomplishments, try:

Instead of "duties included," "responsible for," "served as," or "actions encompassed," try:

To illustrate your communication skills, try:

For creative positions, try:

For sales positions, try:

For management positions, try:

For financial positions, try:

For technical positions, try:
