Writing a CV

[emre43]

I am currently writing my first ever CV and I have two people who are willing to be references for me. This might sound like a really silly question but how do I write them into my CV? How should I structure them into it? How much information on them do I include? Should I mention that one of them is my counsellor?

If you Google "Curriculum Vitae", you'll get lots of advice and examples that you can use as templates for your own. Good luck!

I have tried that but the only information that I can find is on employer references. I have never had an employer before so obivously this doesn't count for me.

I usually include them not in the CV itself but in the letter I join with the CV (like at the end of it) and yes I think you should mention one of them is your counsellor because they will want to know how he/she knows you anyway

Example: at the end of your letter, you write a little sentence like "here's 2 references etc" and then you make a little tableau with the name of your 2 references, how to contact them (phone number) and who they are (counsellor, teacher...)

Oh, ok. I just googled "curriculum vitae no work experience" and it came up with a bunch of articles about that. Here's a few:
