Yeah, the only CV I had until a few months ago was from when I was 16 and applying to college. Nothing like the sort of thing employers are looking for. Had to have a look at samples on the internet to find out what was meant to go on it. Seemed to me that school and college were too 'academic' and too focussed on grades. I didn't really get taught any proper, practical life lessons.
