CV Writing!

I need to write a CV to apply for a degree apprenticeship, what is the best format and what is best to talk about, I.E. work experience, subject competitions (I really am not sure where to start as I obviously have no prior actual work). Should I use bits from my Personal Statement or start form scratch. I'm also registered as a sole trader and do freelance work regularly - is it worth talking about this even know it isn't directly connected to the apprenticeship.

I chose to hire a resume writing service to create my CV. Sure, a few years ago, you might have been able to do it yourself, but nowadays, with the sheer number of CVs employers receive, you really need to stand out. And a specialist knows exactly how to make that happen. For anyone struggling with their CV, check out this article about how to find the best resume writing service.
