i just wrote my information; name, age, DOB, phone number, etc. Then my Education info like primary schools, secondary schools and what I'm studying for JC then you write hobbies and achievements and then you need to references and their contact info also any past WE you have had this could be like babysitting and all that!

Yeah...we only have four weeks though- would have preferred six. Every Friday actually sounds like a really good arrangement! At least you wouldn't be stuck in school all week...

Did any of ye have to fill in a form saying why you want to do TY? It took me WAY longer than it should have to fill it out...:rolleyes: I am SO bad at filling in forms!

make sure you present it neatly etc so I'm told! Also places like Brown Thomas, you can email them your dates and you don't have to give them a CV!

hahaha :pac: Ah i think the forms are for bigger schools! There's 184 third years in my year so they needed to narrow it down so the forms were the only way to do that! :pac: And you try different activities like zumba and martial arts

TBH I think the CV is a bit stupid for work experience . There is nothing of value on it at our age .I'll just use your babysitting as an example (and I don't mean this in a bad way) but like when the person you want to get work experience with read your CV their just going to be like "This is so irrelevant"

oh no i completely understand! I don't understand it at all!! Sure you know to get a job for bringing in the tea to the supervisors, you need a CV for that! (its worth it though cause you get paid 340 euros ) :pac:

the actual building is tiny so i don't understand how that many fits in it! When you're going from class to class it feels like there's 100 people, its so weird!
