Ive fond some templates through Word but just wondering how important GCSEs are to put on it? I got mostly Cs with the odd B but really does anyone care? Ive got a HND and im currently doing a Degree at Uni, should i just put them?

Thanks

I've got all mine on!

GCSE, A-Levels, NVQ's, Microsoft stuff etc.

For the space it takes up may aswell be on, not going to do any harm or could just write....... 11 GCSE's at A-C

Just list what you did at GCSE level and say you passed them.

If they want more info just show them your certificates

I couldn't fit mine on so I just put 11 GCSEs Grade A* - C.

I listed my A-Levels individually though.

Also I would be reluctant to use a template from Word as most recruiters will recognise this.

Not a bad place to start but I would try and make it look unique if you can.

Just list the number but specify the grades for English, Science and Maths as these are core.

Personal statement, hobbies and interests, references.

Some stuff is relevant for certain roles e.g. as a software developer I would list all the technologies I have experience with.

Ah ok - A lot of the high street stores actually have application forms rather than accepting CVs.

Just something to think about.
