I dont want to be blunt but at your age the education you got in school wont really matter, whats important is your life skills and what you have learnt through previous employment.
Reply:you are 46 just lie, i read apps all the time for recruitment and i never get proof of education, its all about the person. hope this helps x x
Reply:Just tell the truth. If you were hired, and they ever found out that you had lied, they cold fire you. And, they could put that on your reason for being fired!
Reply:If you haven't got any paper qualifications, you should sell yourself on your abilities.





Be honest and say something like I left school with little or no qualifications something I regret but I have had 30 years working experience in





List the job your in and any other jobs you have had. Not all employers want the brain of Britain. You can get help at a job club, go through your local job centre. The job club can help you with wording job applications which may help.





Best of luck to you.
Reply:Your literacy could do with some attention - although I can see you try.


Everyone has a skill that can be applied to a job, and I would encourage you to write a CV (guides and templates are easily found on the internet), and work on your achievements.


The care industry may suit you at your age, provided of course that you have any in your area, though I wish you luck in what ever job you get.


Expand on what you are good at, and communicate by telephone, chasing up any job applications.
Reply:Honesty when applying for employment is very important. It might cause the loss of one or two possibilities but will stand you in good stead over all. They tend to find out whether people are dishonest when applying - especially if it is in writing. Good luck.
