I've never experienced this type of learning before, so I'm sure it'll take me a while to find my feet. Hopefully I'm not the only one.
In my last year at Tring Park there was an emphasis put on the importance of our CVs. Of course I had drafted many CVs beforehand but that was for work assignments, this year it could help us get a job. The pressure was on and so I needed to make sure that my CV was up to scratch. I always get my mum and dad to check it before anyone else because they have been in position where they've needed to employ people and the CV is the first impression you get from someone, so the smallest of mistakes could cost you the job.
Anyway, my CV is below and after about an hour of trying to upload a photo, I have decided against it. I used to think I was quite good with technology but if anyone can help me understand how to upload a photo onto this blog that would be much appreciated!

I'm not sure why there is a huge gap between the end of my CV and the bottom of the page but I'll try to sort it out for next time!

I felt exactly the same after reading the misuse 1 handbook it does seem a lot to take in doesn't it. Every task I'm getting I feel like I'm re-reading the brief countless times before getting into writing the blog about it but that's what it's all about isn't it? We're all hear to aid each other and get the most out of the course together....
