Should I mention Travelling in my CV?
Basically, just use traveling to account for the gaps in your resume. Employers won’t mind if you took some time off from work to immerse in new cultures, gain valuable life skills, and experience travel as education. You just have to explain how traveling benefited you just as much as working would have.
Do you include hobbies on a CV?
The hobbies and interests section is an important but optional section in your CV. Many candidates do include it in their CVs, whereas others don’t. Which is approach should you take? You should include hobbies and other interests, especially if they involve social and community activities.
How do I get a job with no experience or references?
If you’ve never held a job or a volunteer position, choose a former teacher or mentor for a reference. For any entry-level position, references will only need to be able to speak to your character, not your past performance, so a teacher would be perfect.
Do professional references have to be bosses?
Don’t ask your boss for a professional reference unless you are being open about the fact that you are looking for a new job. If you are asked to provide a reference from a current supervisor, it’s okay tell the prospective employer that you’ll provide that information once a conditional offer has been made.
