Getting their first job

Your child has weighed up all their options and they have made their decision - they want to get straight out into the world of work. 
​
However, now comes the uncertainty of how best to go about landing their dream job. What should they include on their CV? What skills are employers looking for? What is the best way of applying for a job? How do they stand out from the crowd? What do they do if they are invited to interview? 

Applying for jobs can be an overwhelming process for many of us. “Get Hired” has been created to offer young people practical tips and advice on everything from applications to job interviews. You will find this section useful if you want to support your child to get their foot on to the career ladder.
