we have been doing them at school and they told us to put in interests and hobbies and references
Exam Results if you have done any, and hobbies and interests. A tip i was told is to try and keep it to a sheet of A4 as it is easy to get information. Maybe a picture as well.

I'd say a 1 page spread, then you'll keep it consise, to the point, and the employer wont be inundated with information. Also, change it, according to the job that your going for. For example, a phone company would be interested in communication skills, so try and show that you have them, by emphasising it in your CV. Also, a computer compnay would be interested in ICT and problem solving skills, so again, emphasis them. And dont be afraid to make yourself sound great in every possible way- just dont make a direct lie about anything!
Hope it goes ok x

but education also needs to include where you went to school, you need to write that. i think the general length is no less than 1 side of a4 but no more than 2 sides

why do you want to know all the hairdressers in london for?
for your first job you should send your c.v into an agency they will find the perfect job for you and they promote you to all the companies - its great you dont need to do anything

that sounds good, do you have to pay for it?
no if a company hires you they pay for it you dont have to do anything - apart for go for the interview when they set everything up
and they prep you for it too - so you get everything right

In a profile you basicllay write how great you are and you good points and hobbies
Ahhh, that bit, not the personal details bit!! :rotfl: Age is starting show me up :rotfl:
Hobbies, interests, likes, dislikes, but generally its where to sell yourself :D
You should have a standard CV, plus a covering letter saying why you are applying to their fantasic company and what you can bring to the job. Photos are a good idea too.
Standard CV - no more than 1-2 A4 pages,
clipped together with covering letter specifically targeted at the company and small photo.
Use coloured paper for the covering letter (pastal is best - bright colours are garish and make it hard to read the detail), this helps you application to stand out in a pile.
