Hi, I'm Doing A ~Cv For My Daughters Bf.

[DJHawkes]

He's given me plenty of info but not his school attendance dates, can i be lazy and ask someone to work it out for me please? He was born in march 1976 and left high school at 16 after his GCSEs. ta!

[Buenchico]

Someone born in March 1976 would be 5 in March 1981, meaning that they'd enter Year 1 in September 1981 (after being in 'Reception').

So he started the last year of compulsory education (Year 11) ten years later, in September 1991, meaning that he left school in 1992.

I can't provide the exact start & finish dates for each section of his schooling because, for example, in some parts of the country young people transfer to secondary school in Year 7 (after junior school), whereas in other areas secondary schooling doesn't start until Year 8 or Year 9 (depending upon the type of middle school system in that area).

I imagine he left school in July of 1992.

[DJHawkes]

thanks guys that fits in with his work history x

[boxtops]

Erm, easy enough to add 16 to 1976..... :-)

[lcg]

why isn't he doing it?

[Valmave]

I do feel bound to say - "tell him to write it himself".

[boxtops]

Yes - if he left school in 1992, that makes him 37. Why are you doing it for him?

[bednobs]

perhaps he can't read+write? perhaps he doesn't have a computer? Why does it matter why dot is doing it?

[DJHawkes]

sorry I've only just seen the last few comments, He was the sole carer for his father for 8 years up to his father's death in may last year. He hasn't 'worked' since he gave up his job to look after his Dad. He hasn't used a computer before and never needed a cv as he had worked from 16 after leaving school. He's been managing to run the house (detached bungalow) with the money from his ingeritance but he now needs to find employment to be able to afford to run the place. I did the CV for him as he had his initial interview at the job centre yesterday and they had asked for one.

[Peter Pedant]

well done dee jay !

If you wanna write a CV for him, go ahead and ignore the rather p++sy remarks.

Being wrong about 1992 or 1993 dont be too worried about.
I had to re-fill an UCCA form to go to uni (then I got ill) and
couldnt remember if I had done Italian O level or just the course

You can't do Zoology A level apparently nowadays as a stand alone
so I put down Biology but that meant I had done some Bot when I hadnt

and being UCCA there was no box for saying one had been to Cambridge rather than one wanted to go but there WAS one for a post grad degree in Uni of London and so on and so on.

and so I tried to explain in the interview and they (aged 25 and under) looked at me as tho I were the Mummy himself risen from the Tomb......
