    Hi,
    Right now I'm typing up a CV in the hope I can obtain a job somewhere in South Dublin. I've received my LC results and will be studying Architecture in university. However I do not know my timetable and I have heard that I will be working quite a lot all year round. My question is should I try and find a part time job even though I do not know my hours or should I wait till I have entered college. Also I'm at a disadvantage as I have no experience working in retail which seems to be a common requirement in all the jobs I have looked up online. Also could anyone give any advice on how to present my CV, it would be greatly appreciated!

    I remember starting college 5 years ago, going into a tough course I'd knew would have a hectic timetable. I waited till October/November to start applying for Christmas jobs, etc... this is ideal for you I'd imagine as you have no experience and it's always nice to have a couple of months to get into the swing of things in college.

    Next advice would be to apply for anything online you can find but hit the shopping centres near you and hand in physical CV's and Cover Letters, both in a polypocket and go in dressed neatly (not a shirt and tie - jeans, polo, shaven, etc...).

    Plenty of examples of CV's out there, start with your personal details (name, date of birth, address, contact details, then past work/work experience starting with the most recent (give dates) and giving a short description of what you done. Then add in anything additional, volunteer work, hobbies, if you played in any sports add that in as it would show you're a team player, etc...
