Utilize Libraries

Take advantage of free services from local libraries. Many offer access to computers, printing services, and host classes and workshops with professionals.

Check with your library or local council's website. Or visit the national career center for advice, recommendations, and information on available government courses and certifications that suit you.

Final Checks

Consider saving the file as a PDF. Name it something like '[your name] – CV' so that the recruiter or HR manager can easily find it.
