She's been applying to jobs daily since June, with no luck, and is beginning to give up hope. She has an irrelevant degree from a great Uni and is currently doing a course in Marketing with the CIM.
Thanks!

Who has she been applying to? Big companies, small, corporate, charity, TV, radio stations, local newspapers, councils etc etc
If she hasn't been successful in 5 months then IMO she must not be doing something right. The CV is the 1st opportunity an employer gets to 'look' at you. If nothing stands out or doesn't read as interesting then why is she different from anyone else? Especially in marketing where you need to be innovative, think outside the box and be able to grab someone's attention. The CV is about her, the thing of which she knows everything about in the world. Use it to be quirky, different and make her CV stand out from the crowd.
