A free
service for young people from 4yp
Hello!
Do let us know if you find this Webwatch useful - especially if this has
helped you successfully get a job/training programme. In
order to keep producing this, I need to know if it’s useful to you !
Don’t forget to check job hunting websites regularly – I can’t include
everything here and it’s much easier to search by your postcode/requirements.
Here’s a few websites you can look at:
·
www.youthoria.org - jobs and training for young people in Cambridgeshire (get the
train to St Neots & Huntingdon from Sandy & Biggleswade)
·
www.hertsjobs16to19.org - jobs and training for young people in Hertfordshire -
Stevenage, Letchworth Garden City
·
www.apprenticeships.org.uk –
search and register for local opportunities where you can earn and learn!
Also remember that it is not easy job-hunting – it can be quite
dis-heartening applying for jobs and not hearing anything back, but you need to
keep going – there will be a role out there for you! If you are getting fed up
and not getting anywhere, then get in touch and I will help.
Quick applications tips:
·
Your CV/application form needs to be a
good representation of you – if it is tatty and doesn’t look good or is hard to
read or too long, then it wont be read!
·
You need to change your CV for every
job you apply for, to demonstrate your skills and experience – employers aren’t
mind readers, and you need to prove that you can do the job you are applying
for.
·
Don’t just list the jobs you have had,
also list the skills you gained, or tasks you did to make it sound better. You might be able to put in the skills that
the employer is looking for – don’t presume they will know what you did!
·
Remember you can always email me your
CV and I can suggest ways to improve it!
Good luck!
