It's key that young people know how to present themselves well and demonstrate the correct skills and experience when applying for jobs. We’ve made some activities to help students learning remotely to develop skills around creating standout CVs and applications, as well as preparing for interviews. The pages linked below contain Interactive worksheets and Online lesson films (interactive film tutorials), in addition to the full length lesson plan which the remote resources have been adapted from.

The worksheets can be downloaded and shared with students as independent learning activities, as homework, or to complement the relevant lesson plans. The online lesson films focus on creating a standout CV and can be used in conjunction with the corresponding worksheets or on their own.
