Hello I hope your all well 

I'm in a pickle, I receive Universal Credit, I've completed a UC50 form and signed off by GP. Part of work commitments job advisor has asked me to register with employment agencies and online jobsite like CV library, Monster etc 

They require me to upload a CV…. A couple of things 

C.V looks completely alien to me, like its someone else's 

Also I'm struggling to find where to put my AUDHD, CPTSD, social anxiety that limits me from getting public transport (live in middle of nowhere) sensory overload etc even with earplugs/headphones 

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated

  • There's generally a standard format to most CVs: so you should be able to find a template to download. 

    Most of the job sites and some employers will take your CV and scrape the data  - so they have it in a standard format regardless of your formatting  - so long as your CV is structured in a particular way: the most common are Skills Based CV and Chronological CV. 

    This CV guide on Indeed explains more. 

    You can create multiple CVs so play around with the types - although my own experience is that most employers and job boards seemed to favour chronological CVs

    I'm not aware of any section to put your conditions: I don't think you need to disclose any of that info for your CV.  Remember these things are fairly public if you're uploading to job boards

    Likewise for data protection just put your name and email/phone on the CV, not your address or DOB

    Also ask them (Job Centre) for help with writing - and see if they can help or sign-post you to local job support club  where there may be someone more useful
