HOW TO SUPPORT YOUR SON OR DAUGHTER TO PREPARE FOR WORK EXPERIENCE Help them to research different career ideas they may want to experience www.careerswales.com Tools and Resources, Job Information. www.nationalcareerssrvice.gov.uk Careers Advice, Job Profiles. Help them to research employers/companies to see if they offer work experience and encourage them to contact by email, phone etc. Help them to consider alternative options if unsuccessful at first e.g. if interested in working with animals consider dolphinarium, zoo, stables, equestrian centres, polo club, pet shops, grooming parlours, aquarium, veterinary hospitals etc.Consider the accessibility of the work placement – how will they get there, what will their working hours be, will they be able to travel independently or need a lift. Attend the initial interview with the employer to ensure that you are happy with the environment, programme, dress code, insurance issues etc.Slide6

Creative alternatives to the traditional CVSlide9
Put Your best Qr face forwardAt first glance, Victor Petit's resume looks similar to any other text-based CV. But flip the document over and you'll find a full-page image of his face as well as a QR code where his mouth would be.Once a recruiter scans the QR code and places his or her phone on top of it, a video pops up revealingPetit's mouth, ultimately completing the full-page image and allowing the recruiter to hear Petit's voice.
QR codes are
easy to make
and can help you get noticed, especially if you ditch the standard black-and-white QR code and opt to add some pizazz to your design.Slide10
Sell yourself – literally!Shopify, an ecommerce platform, says the best resume it has ever received is this one from Mike Freeman, who wanted to work at Shopify's marketing department."He built an online store using Shopify where you can read about his background, experience, etc. and the ecommerce part is you can 'buy' an interview with him for '$0.00,' " said Mark Hayes, Shopify's manager of marketing and media. "We get an infinite amount of resumes here. Yes, he got the job."Slide11
Positive Facebook pages Henry O'Loughlin took to Facebook to showcase his "Social Resume," including a video in which he describes how to navigate his resume on Facebook."I work with mostly small businesses doing social media, so I am demonstrating through this resume all of the tools out there that can be utilized without an ad budget."Using Facebook's Page feature, O'Loughlin was able to showcase his skills as well as show potential clients what he can offer them.Slide12
Video Killed the Resume Star?Video resumes can be a clever complement to your existing job-search materials (i.e. print resume, cover letter and website).Graeme Anthony ditched his print resume altogether and created a fun, interactive video where viewers can click on words (see 0:34) linked to an "about me" section, portfolio, skill page, timeline and contact information.If you decide to make a video, be sure not to just rehash what's on your print resume. Have fun with it and show your personality. Anthony sure did.Slide13
Add Personality to Your Print ResumeHAMSTER? Hired! It's hard to take your eyes away from Katie Briggs's visually pleasing resume, which pimps her "fancy hamster," Belafonte."I wanted the first thing that people notice about my resume to be that it's a little fun, but still pretty much all-business," Briggs said. "In any creative field, at least, I think it's important to make your resume a testament to your work ethic. It shouldn't look forced but it should give the impression that the work you put into constructing your resume is an indicator of the kind of dedication and hard work you'll bring to the job."Takeaways: Make sure your resume shows your personality and represents who you really are. Also, don't bore job recruiters."I can say that I haven't been turned down for anything I've applied for with this resume," Briggs added.Slide14
Think Outside the Box ... or On It!In 2D form, Omondi Abudho's resume goes beyond the standard text-driven resume. It even adds extra "creative juice" with a nutrition label-inspired skills column.However, the resume can be folded into an actual three-dimensional box. It brings a whole new meaning to the phrase, "Think Outside the Box."Using a resume design or structure that strays away from the typical printer paper size is a surefire way to get noticed.Slide15
Pitch ElectronicallyBeyond Credentials believes that "finding talent based solely on a resume is fundamentally flawed." Its service allows users to build "personalized pitch pages."For example, Nadia Kouri's pitch page lists everything she would have on a print resume as well as her story, an enlarged quote, accomplishments, personality, a Q&A and writing samples. The page also includes icons linking to her LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter profiles.https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=1124181266946&set=vb.333442120318&type=2&theater Slide16
