Yes, we know you’ll be busy scoffing Crème Eggs and watching back to back films in your PJs, but you can’t do that for two full weeks, can you?
Here’s a few things you could be doing whilst you’re off:
- A good revision timetable.
A good revision timetable includes everything you already do (e.g. sport, clubs, work, seeing friends) and fits revision around that. Make it realistic (so don’t convince yourself you’ll do 4 hours every night) and stick to it. Little rewards can be useful to keep you motivated!
- If you’re yet to do your year 12 work experience, Easter is a perfect time to organise it.
Do some research to find organisations you are interested in, then call them to see if they offer work experience. Try to get the contact details of the person who has managed work experience before, and send a follow up email highlighting what you can offer the organisation, attaching your CV.
- Update your CV.
You may be applying for work experience (above), a job, volunteering or something else. There are lots of websites with CV advice. We recommend Prospects for CV advice and examples.
- Is your CV a little thin? Are you lacking information to put on it?
If so, try something new. Volunteering for a few hours a week, joining a new sports team or starting a new hobby means you can demonstrate a range of skills and qualities. It also gives you something else to talk about on your uni personal statement, job or apprenticeship applications. do-it.org is a great website to search for thousands of volunteering opportunities.
- Eat lots of chocolate and have a great time off.
Well, it is the Easter holidays after all!
