I genuinely have nothing to put on a CV besides (lack of) education.
No projects, no hobbies, no experience, no* nothing.
*"no nothing" sounds like negation of false
But I also guess it can’t really be that empty.
I found posting for a job I could perhaps do**, though unfortunately they want a CV.
**The posting mentions this
Don’t worry - we are not looking for experience, we are looking for a quality colleague who is eager to learn and grow - both at work and personally. What is important to us is that you have determination and responsibility. We will teach you everything you need - from the technical side to communication with customers.
Sounds good as I have no experience, but… CV.
Anyway, I am also questioning what to make it in. Originally I though of using LaTeX, but that needs more time. I only really tried to use it once, and that was pain. So many packages, what do they do, how do I use them. Like learning to swim by jumping into a lake.
LibreOffice Write/Draw is probably what I’ll have to go with. Draw lets me easily put whatever I want wherever I want. And of course, export that to PDF.
Lastly, I need sleep now. It is unfortunate, as I have most energy and will to do things at night. However, this also includes crazy thoughts and ideas, such as making a second, crazy version of my CV.
Although extremely unprofessional, outdated HTML 3.2, old non-standard elements like blink and marquee, animated bullet points, animated tiled background, and “under construction” GIF in the experience section would be truly memorable.
Of course, I couldn’t just send Tar-ed page source. But since it would be a single-page “document”, all the GIFs could be withing the HTML file encoded in base 64.
Not that I plan to do it, but I personally like the vision in my mind.
Thank you for your attention.
You’re over thinking some of this. Create a resume in libre office to confirm to common practices. Don’t put in fancy shit with draw or do something fancy with latex. Unless an employer specifically requests something nonstandard, you’re just going to get filtered out or upset whoever has to review your art project.
You must have some level of education like highschool, GED, or equivalent depending on where you live. Put any job experience you have or formal positions you’ve held. If you can find one, I would heavily recommend going to a professional to help you write your resume. I worked at a company for a little over 9 years and was applying at a different company. I thought I had a decent resume until I worked with a guy that does this for a living and he humbled me. It was a complete re-write but I ended up with the job. If you can’t find someone, I’d start at your local library and if they can’t help, they may be able to steer you to good resources.
