    In what, though?

    No point dropping them into a bank if you have experience in M&S. :)

    Maybe? Maby?

    Don't send a CV for a position as a typist.

    You should really tailor each CV to each different job. Shows that you have "real" interest in it.

    What experience have you got? For example. if you've worked in bars before, try other bars. Make sure to highlight the relevant experience in your CV. As IvyTheTerrible says, you might be better off tailoring your CV to the different jobs.

    Also, people aren't going to tell you places to go unless you say where you are. I could tell you a bunch of places in Galway but that's probably no use to you if you're from Cork.

    I had previous experience in my area too, and I still handed out nearly 40 CVs before I got my job. 7 CVs unless applying for something specific like neurosurgery seems a bit too few!
