have little work experience? You can still use previous work history to sell yourself even if you have done jobs which you feel are irrelevant. For example, working behind a bar or in a shop will have given you the chance to display leadership skills, team working experience, customer service skills or business development skills. If you have little work experience because you have been out of work due to personal or family reasons, then you can emphasise the personal skills and attributes that you have. Perhaps a club, hobby or charity work has given you the chance to show similar skills.
