...and that was because i made mistakes in ma CV, to get a good job you'll need a good CV that will describe your personality and you need to have references to back you up, someone who knows you and you've worked with them for e.g. Your Teacher or a friend who has their own business. You also need to look good, i mean you can't go on an interview and wear shorts n a large t-shirt. You need to be well presented in trousers and shirts, maybe in black ... Read review

Advantages: Good value for money / very personal service...
Disadvantages: Can't really think of any!

pI just wanted to share with everyone the great experience I had using www.epiccvs.co.uk. It was the first time I have had my Cv professionally written and was unsure what to expect. I found them on google typing in Cv help and the poped us on the side. When I shopped around I found them to be sort of in the middle in terms of price I decided not to go for the cheapest as I wanted to get good results for my CV so decided to go with them.

...you are being taught will come up in whhichever exam you are taking for that subject. Otherwise, why would teachers bother to talk for hours on end about the digestive system of an ant!?

Advantages: discounts to be had
Disadvantages: finding the discounts to be had

Unless you have rich parents and plenty of time to spare..and lets face it, if you are a full time student who is thinking of getting an NUS card then you will probably do not have rich parents and probably will not have the time (as you will be studying or working!) then this card is absolutely pointless. When I got one, I though brilliant, I'll get loads of discounts..and save loads of money. So far amazon.co.uk, I got ONE discount, ...
...it, wait unitl you know ALL the books you need, plus any of your mates needs, then put them into one order and the discount might be worth it!?!?!??? But I doubt it. I'm annoyed as the website says you can get student discounts almost everywhere..but realistically clothes shops like Burtons are the only ones bothering. I went into WHSMITHS today, and was shocked at they do not accept student discounts anymore..infact 9/10 places I have visited recently ... Read review
