Over the summer Youth Mix has recruited over 70 experienced volunteers, from a variety of business sectors - we are very excited with our latest project which provides free CV reviewing services.
Youth Mix conducted a survey which uncovered that over 90% of young people believe their school or university needs to provide more support on how to create a strong CV and to get a job. Youth Mix are aiming to reduce this gap by providing guidance and support so young people can improve their CVs. We match experienced volunteers to the young person's career choice, the volunteer will review and provide suggestions around structure and detail rather than re-writing the CV for the young person. The outcome of this project would result in a strong CV for each young person so they are able to confidently represent themselves for future job applications.
Since our launch in August 2020, we've had over 70 young people use our CV service and have received really positive feedback. We go to great lengths to match up suitable professionals with young people to critique CVs and offer valuable advice.
This is only the beginning and we need your help to expand this service to more young people across England. Our charity is led by our amazing roster of young leaders and our charity is 100% volunteer run (from our CV reviewers to the Board of Trustees). We appreciate your time and donation and will make every effort to ensure we do more to support our young people!
