I'm after a professional job anywhere in the field of helping people. I'm mid 40s, when I was last job hunting it was really different.

How the fuck do I start?

Best advice I had, was to rewrite the job advert as your CV... so each application will be different.

Obviously don't lie about your experience, but if they're wanting a "dynamic self-starting highly motivated..." then, well, that's what you are.

Now, whether that forms a CV or an online form, it doesn't really matter as you'll be just copy & pasting their advert anyway.
