She has had a few. She got hustled into a pyramid scheme but realised and quit before her first "actual" day of work. Otherwise she's had a few interviews, but almost nothing compared to the number of applications she's made. We reckon it's because her degree is in something irrelevant, so beyond being in the process of completing the part-time marketing course and a brief stint of relatively-marketing-related work, she doesn't have a particularly marketing-orientated background. So the C.V. may be the issue! Although most applications nowadays are online forms, often not even asking for C.V.s!

ANYTHING! She's been unsuccessful for too long now to be picky.

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.

Pretty much everything. We'll talk about her C.V. That's a good point. With the lack of feedback from employers whom reject, it's hard to tell if it's the C.V. or previous experience which need amending.
