Creating a CV

The PowerPoint attached features a thought shower that can be used as a starter. Students should write positive words to describe themselves on a scrap of paper. These are then fed back and the teacher adds them to the thought shower.

Later, students can use these words to help them write a personal statement as part of their CV.

Also attached is an example CV layout that can be shown to students as an example or given to them to be used as a template.

There is also a Word document with different examples of how to format headings and the main body of text on a CV. Students should suggest which they think should be used during a class discussion.
