I want a job but don't know where to start with cv

Sorry i don't know if I'm in the right place

I'm 22 and have a 2 year old daughter.
I really want a job so I can spend my wasted hours more productively and earn a bit of money to help my partner out a bit with the house. But I don't know where to start with even writing my cv because I haven't worked, I feel like it would be the most bland cv and would be chucked to the side for having no experience.
I was at college until 19 and went straight to uni, but i had to then leave because I was commuting and had several hoapital appointments due medical conditions whilst pregnant.
My partner works 48 hours a week in care, I feel useless sat at home all day and I'm awake until 6.30am or later almost every night.
I'm wanting to apply for some night time care jobs so that i can stop being sat watching pointless YouTube videos for several hours a night. Blush

Is there anything i can put on my cv that would make me not sound boring or lazy, I really don't want to be stuck doing nothing 😢😢

Stop calling yourself lazy. Your reasons and circumstances mean you have had a job yet, that is all.

The good news is that you want a job. So with regards to your cv. Easy, you lost your personal details, your schools and all the grades you got. How much uni did you manage? Did you complete any credits? If so put thoes on there.

Then focus on your skills, what are you good at? Put that down and be ready to give examples.

Putting aside the cv writing though. Your sleep pattern doesn't seem good at all. When are you sleeping if not at night? Poor sleeping will really kill your mental health.

If you don't get feel that you could be considered for care then here are some other jobs that you could do in the evenings.

Retail - supermarkets then to be 24 hours there days.
Cleaning - office buildings tend to be cleaned over night.
Delivery driver - if you can drive them plenty of good delivery options available.

Have a look at sites such as myworldofwork and planit that can help you put together a cv, and help you identify your skills and strengths.
There’ll probably be employability programmes that you can access local to you with people able to help you with getting into work too.
