A Chance to Win Roz's New Book 'My First CV- a Step By Step Guide' to Help You and Your Students (RAFFLE)

The point of this post is that I want to give some books to teachers, to help them teach their students to write CVs.
Are you a teacher?
Are you a student?

If not, then this post doesn't really apply to you.

I know you men can't help yourselves when it comes to giving advice that isn't asked for, but since the book is already written, I don't require any further input into the editorial content.
Thanks though.

Now moving on - would anyone like a copy of the book?

Your first CV is often the most difficult to write, because in most cases you haven’t yet built up a formal work history.

So often I hear the lament of the student: “But I haven’t done anything!”

NONSENSE!

You already have many really valuable skills that are of interest to a prospective employer – what you don’t yet realise is how they can be identified and included on your CV.

The purpose of this book is to help you to create a CV through identifying your skills and presenting them on paper in a way that is useful and interesting to potential employers.

Are you hiring school students though?

I would have thought a pile of CVs of school students would be *more* susceptible to arbitrary discarding, since you’re not going to be able to discard based on experience (on account of they don’t have any).

I find this response very disappointing. As someone who has been on both sides of the hiring process I’m interested in discussions about the finer details of it, but your reaction seems be basically “you’re not allowed to talk about anything in the book because it’s not for you so shut up and get out of my thread”.

Agreed, if no address it would raise suspicions and if a large pile to get through it may just get discarded.

Forgive me if I'm being obtuse, but post IWANNAWIN where? Here?

The first coupla pages of the thread are squabblings and nobody's claiming they want to win. I wanna win! (Maybe I'm supposed to go Facebook or some such

I'm not going there cos I don't wanna win that much.)

I got me some business students at the moment and teaching them how to write their CV would be much better than the shit I'm expected to deal with. Damn it, I wanna win!

It’s a PDF. I bought one. Of course shipping from Oz going at a lot, probably cheaper they way. I paid for shipping from Cambodia it’s (really expensive). Shipping from Oz is still half as expensive (but still crazy expensive).

Good material. May never need it in my line of work, but still a good reference.

Best of luck to everyone.
