Do you have a CV?
Having an up-to-date CV is essential - and could really help when students are looking for work experience. Students had the opportunity to create one during English lessons this year, and it should be saved on their OneDrive. If any student missed the lesson or would like to review their CV, they can download the lesson PDF and a CV template using the link below:
How to Write a CV (Pre 16) Guide
Making contact with employers:
Finding a placement often starts with a simple conversation. The template below is a useful way to contact employers by email or message. It helps you explain who you are and what you're looking for in a clear and professional way.
But don’t just rely on written messages. Speaking to people in person—whether it’s someone you know, a local business, or a shop you visit—can really help. It shows confidence, and sometimes a quick chat can lead to opportunities that wouldn’t come up otherwise.
Use the template to get started, and remember: a friendly conversation can go a long way.
How to upload your placement (Work Placement Preparation Form & Unifrog):
Work Placement Preparation Form
Once you have all the details completed on the above form, it needs adding to Unifrog. Students can log in using
Once all the details have been completed on the form above, they need to be added to Unifrog. Students can log in using their school email and the password they created when setting up their account. If the password is forgotten, it can be easily reset via their school email.
On Unifrog, students should click the grey 'Placement' button, then select 'Add a new placement' and enter the details from the form. If anyone finds this tricky, we’re happy to help in school.
