Free time or do you need to build your CV?

'Build your CV' is a constant cry from parents, you NEED a million dollar personal statement!
'But' mumbles the teenager struggling with school, homework, revision, sleep and chilling with friends...'I don't have the time!' 

Across the country sports mad kids take Sports Leaders awards and Level 1 coaching certificates and  then go back to their sports clubs and begin  'helping'  the youngsters.  

University students need to grow their CV's and while they have long summer holidays they may not know where to look for placements that are fun, rewarding as well as career building. A click in the right place could find them marshalling an arena event (free concert?).

A mum who now spends less time taxi-ing the kids about has time to herself. Saturday mornings  used to be filled with kid friendly activities but now she can do what she likes...as long as it is free and the local Parkrun needs her timekeeping skills. 

Retirement hits and dad has a vast amount of free time. Cycling used to be his thing but knees and other issues have stopped him from competing, but now he has time to train as an 'official' official.
