Will taking this job have a negative impact on my CV

Hi everyone

Bascially I am unemployed at the moment after finishing my degree and having some experience within admin jobs. I'm trying at the moment to find office based roles or idealy a role where I can use my degree in History but the job market where I live isnt the best. My husband has got me an indterview as a cleaner at the supermarket he works at which is part time.

I need the money to help pay the rent and if I get the job I will obviously be looking for something that I'm qualified for ( not that I'm a job snob).

Will this look really bad on my CV or will employers understand that I'm in work and trying to pay the bills. ( Also I always think every job needs to be on your CV as they will see where you worked if they employ you and see your P45)

Just looking for anu thoughts or if people have been through simlair experience?

Thanks

Take it and then present it that you arent afraiid of hard work and did what was needed to get yourself to the next stage. The money will help and it gets you to a better stage than you are at. It will be easier to get another job whilst in work.

I wouldn't imagine that if you had the right grades, as well as other relevant work experience that having that you were a cleaner would have a largely negative look on your CV. They are unlikely to grill you on why you took it up, but even if you did, there is no shame in getting work in order to pay the bills and survive. I would not stress about it too much.
Although, some say to tailor your CV in such a way that you only list the jobs you have done that are relevant to the job you are applying for. So I suppose that could always be an option? I would say include it because at the very least it shows that you aren't going to sit around on the couch waiting for things to fall at your feet, that you're willing to work hard (even if it is not your ideal career) in order to pay the bills, and then progress onto work you actually do enjoy.

Also I always think every job needs to be on your CV as they will see where you worked if they employ you and see your P45 )

That's what I thought, I have my qualifications and experience of admin etc and I can always find volunteer work to strengthen my cv further and yeah just be honest and say that I needed to pay the bills, not afraid of hard work and didnt want a gap on my cv thanks

You aren't understanding the role of a P45. The process goes like this -

Applicant writes a CV showing all relevant experience
Employer reviews CV and decides the applicant is competitive - invites Applicant to interview
At interview discusses experience, may ask about gaps, may not. Applicant has positive answers prepared.
Employer decides applicant is the best for the job and makes an offer 'subject to references' and a start date is discussed
References are taken up and job offer and start date are confirmed

Applicant turns up for first day of work with paperwork for joining company, including P45, possibly signed contract etc
Applicant, now an employee, hands over P45 to payroll clerk who enters detail onto payroll software and returns it to the employee.
Crack on with the new job.

So the P45 only enters the process after an offer has been made, and confirmed. Plus the only person that sees the P45 is the payroll clerk, certainly not the hiring manager (unless there is only one person in this organisation)

Finally, the P45 only shows income in the previous Financial Year, if you haven't been earning since 6 April in the year, then you don't hand over a P45 anyway.

So I could keep the cleaning job off my CV?
