CV WRITING SKILLS FOR BARNARDO'S YOUNG PEOPLE

Barnardo’s Moving Forward Project aims to empower disabled young people by developing their independence, enabling them to engage in new experiences, providing opportunities to socialise and make friendships and by giving them a voice to express their views on issues that affect their lives.

Today, 10 young people from the 'Moving Forward' Project took part in a SATRO CV Review Workshop. They learnt what makes recruiters look at CVs and indeed, what makes them read all the way through without discarding them.  Also, how to present the information in an attractive and logical fashion.

The workshop was followed by a few one-to-one sessions, so that they could start formulating their own CVs.

When asked what sort of jobs they would like to do, the answers varied from Personal Shopper to Riot Officer in the Police to Kennel Worker. 
"[The] Presenter was very friendly and explained clearly," one of the attendees commented.
Good luck in their quest for employment!
