If you're just finishing school I can only assume all you'll have is education, Evidence of teamwork (extra curricular sports etc., but it doesn't have to be sports-orientated) is a must.

I don't know what sort of job you're after, but I've read a lot of CV's for retail work before and you can tell almost instantly by the layout of the thing. Please keep it brief and easy on the eye. Junior Cert etc. doesn't matter, choice of LC subjects and levels yes. Make sure there are NO typos. Type it up, leave it for a few days, then read it again. Have someone else read it after, then leave it again and return to it.

A good thing to do is just Google "CV templates" and slot your own information in one you think looks well. That's what my CV looked like when I was looking for a job and 3 years (and 2/3 jobs) later I still wouldn't change it.
