I don't know if Americans or any other country have C.V's, but in England they show off your work experience/history, qualifications, strengths and weaknesses. Now, i have no qualifications, no work experience and have no clue what my strengths are, let alone my weaknesses. The only 2 strengths I can think of, that aren't all that, are: - I like to help people - in the sense of sharing is caring. - I HATE being late for stuff. So I am always on time for stuff. I like to plan stuff ahead. I have never been able to write myself a C.V because of all the reasons listed above. The fact that also a C.V is - in my opinion - about bigging yourself up and being vain about yourself, doesn't help. Purely because I'm not that kind of person, BUT then someone else can't really write your C.V for you because who knows 'you' better than you? No one. Ask me questions to help me or... whatever.. Appreciated.

What did you study in college? That's the thing.. I never went to college. I didn't even finish secondary school. I quit WAY too young (when i was 12).

What do you specialize in? That's yet another thing. I have nothing lol. Sad, but true. The only thing I used to be decent at was math. But now I suck BADLY since I only have up to age 12 math taught to me.

Age, previous employers + positions, and what you're making this for (a specific job, any job, what?).

Age: 22 Previous Employers: None Position: None Why?: No specific job. Just wanting to try find my strengths and weakness so i can start to build one for anything.

It's gonna be hard for me to help you write this with that kind of background. Here's my advice to you. You have problems with bigging yourself up, so go to the extreme end of that. Write a CV that makes you sound like an incredible bad ass, with every perfect, ultimate, extremely exaggerated quality. Once you've written that, slowly trim it down until you feel that it's a good CV but also fits you.

You're one of the most creative people out there, that's definitely a strength.

I'm gonna start dishing out internet beatings if people keep it up with this 4chan shit, I swear.

I have tons of experience with CVs, if you need something. I'm happy to help.

I'm not familiar with CVs specifically, but if it's web based work at all, look into making a portfolio or using your dA.

It's essentially a résumé, Chris.

I figured that much. I meant what they look like. Re-reading my comment, I guess I forgot to say "include" in regards to the portfolio/dA.

Yeah, I know what you mean. A portfolio would be a great idea though.
