How to Write Your Great First CV
2025-11-18 13:30 - 14:30 | Virtual
A FREE interactive online workshop to help young people write a CV that really sells their skills….and helps them get a Great First Job!

Hi….and thanks for checking out our workshop – “How to Write a Great First CV”
You know, I can’t recall the last time I saw a CV from a young person that really hit the spot…one that clearly captured the key points, and was super-effective at communicating them to an employer.
And I know that this means some young people are not securing interviews for jobs that they really want….and we can help make sure this doesn’t happen to you!
A CV’s job is to get you into the interview room….where you can then wow the employer with your personality, your experiences, your skills and your all-round awesomeness.
But a poorly written CV means that you might not even get into the interview room, and so they never get to see what they’re missing!
I’ve been helping young people find their first job for over 30 years. Whether that’s straight after GCSEs, A Levels or after graduating from university. I know what works and what doesn’t…..and have a bunch of easy fixes you can apply to your CV.
We will cover:
How to write a great Summary Statement
What order to put your CV in (and why that can sometimes change)
How to lay out your qualifications
Why your part time jobs are really important…and how to present them
Interests? Is anyone interested in your interests? Of course they are!
What should I do about references?
What design templates to use……and which ones to avoid
It’s going to be a really informative session!

Is a cover letter really necessary? Yes! And this webinar will help show you how to write a cover letter that effectively communicates your value in a clear, concise, and strategic way.
While they aren’t always required, a cover letter can be an extremely valuable tool. A well-crafted cover letter – one that is tailored to each specific job – can help set you apart, particularly in a competitive job market.
Cover letters provide job seekers with an opportunity to go beyond their resume, painting a clearer picture of how your skills, experiences, and accomplishments align with the needs and priorities of the hiring manager. A cover letter also provides the space to explain things that might not be obvious from your resume, like a career change or transition to a new field.
In this webinar, FlexJobs will show you to craft a cover letter that will strengthen your job application. You’ll learn how to showcase your enthusiasm for the role and company, highlight your relevant skills and abilities, and tell your compelling career story. Register today!

7 Must-Have Skills Remote Workers Need
2025-11-26 11:00 - 11:30 | Virtual
According to a recent FlexJobs survey, a whopping 65% of respondents say they want to work from home full-time, and 31% would like a hybrid work schedule.

However, despite the growing preference for remote work, some would-be remote workers aren’t prepared for the handful of challenges that working from a home office can bring. Along with having the specific skills and experience to do the job duties, workers also need to have a variety of other skills to be successful remote employees.
Luckily, many of these soft skills and talents can be learned or honed!
This webinar provides an overview of the top 7 skills needed to be a great remote worker—some you may already have, and others that can be learned or honed.
