    Let's assume you are changing your career path or just entering job market.
    What to include and what not to include on your CV when you apply for a junior position which states that no degree or previous experience is necessary? It's a piece of cake when you apply for sales campaign company where people really don't care and just "shoot the ducks". But what if that's not sales? Should you include your previous job experience which has no relevance for the job you're applying for except for the transferable skills?
    Should you mention anything at all in the education section if that's not what the job description aims at? What kind of CV would be consiedered appropriate for a job like this especially if you're applying through the agency?

    Everything is relevant. Whether you've worked in retail and are applying for banking etc etc. The skills you learn in any domain can be put into use anywhere and you make the most stupidest things in your daily routine look relevant with fancy words. You should never underestimate yourself in these cases, it's what future employers don't want to see or hear.
