Writing a CV for a student

[JRCT]

I think this is the bit you missed



Am just thinking of a different way of getting a foot in the door at least risk to the employer so he can make himself valuable. Am thinking small business with owner on site with a busy workload. They get a resource to trial to help them out and find out it actually works well so keep him on. You've effectively made a position that wasn't there if he had just dropped his CV off.

Even if the company is a bit mercenary and don't take him on he has experience on his CV working at a small accountancy firm, estate agents, anything. Gotta be better than a stint at McDonalds or the Garden Centre surely? Just depends on how long the OP is willing to pay him I guess..

Anyway, there you go.

I don't think for a minute it's gonna be easy and may not even work at all, just something to consider.

It's a very good idea, from my point of view. At the end of the day, he's my son and of course I don't want him to suffer and I hate that I've got a fair bit of spare money just now and he's always moaning about being skint.

I don't just want to give him hand outs all the time - where's the incentive in that for him - but it's hard sometimes to fight that instinct.

So, this would be a good way to get him to work for my money.

Not for me it ain't! No reason is a good enough reason for a Yorkshire bloke to part with his cash!! LOL...

But yeah, would rather support my lad from my pocket for a bit if he is willing to earn it and there is potential for some good stuff to come out of it if it all goes well....

Nope. You see that's your major problem. You presume you know everything. And you dont. And that's why you misunderstood my post.

Now go and lie down take your medicine and STFU.
