How travel can boost your CV

When starting out on a career it can seem daunting to fill up two pages of CV with what feels like little or no work experience. Travel can actually help boost your CV. Employers want to see evidence of transferable skills; it doesn’t matter whether these have been gained in the work place or elsewhere.

School expeditions will help you develop and demonstrate leadership qualities, organisational skills, budgeting experience and problem solving. You will face mental and physical challenges, learn about the environment, step outside your comfort zone and become adaptable to new surroundings.

The experiences you face will change you as a person and will give you skills that you will go on to use in both your personal and professional life.  And while you are having the adventure of a lifetime, all of these new found skills will boost your CV.

Girls on expedition to boost their CV Not only can travel boost your CV, but it can also provide you with a range of situational answers for crucial interview questions.

How do you deal with difficult situations? What is your experience of working as part of a team? Do you have any experience of achieving a goal? Have you any leadership experience? Having limited work experience can make questions like this awkward, but travel can provide the answers.
