Why CVs shut people out
A CV is a list of what you've already done. That works for people with plenty to list, and leaves everyone else looking empty: school leavers, carers, people coming back after illness, people new to the UK. It also tells a place very little about whether you'd actually fit in.
How Someo works instead
1You chat with Someo about everyday life: weekends, friends, what you lose track of time doing. Somewhere between five and ten questions.
2Someo drafts a short description of you and the traits it heard. You read it, change it or approve it. Nothing is shown to a place before you do.
3Someo introduces you to places whose character overlaps with yours, and tells you why in plain words.
4When you and a place both say yes, a conversation opens and you can arrange to meet.
If a place asks for a CV later
Some places still like something on paper once you've met. Keep it to one page:
Your name, phone number, email and the area you live in
Two or three lines about you, in your own words
Anything you've done that shows how you work, paid or not: volunteering, caring, sport, school projects, helping out at home
When you can work
Roles you can say yes to without a CV
Nothing is open this minute, but places on Someo can find you and say yes without a role advertised. No CV needed.
Nothing advertised? You can still meet places.
Most places don't advertise until they're desperate. On Someo they don't have to. A place can set up, see who it overlaps with and say yes to you before it has listed anything, and you can tell a place you'd like to work there. When you both say yes, a conversation opens.
Questions people ask
Can I get a job without a CV?+
Yes. Many first jobs are offered after a conversation or a trial, and on Someo a CV is never part of it.
What do places see instead?+
Your first name, the description you approved, your traits in words and roughly where you are. Never a number rating you, and never your contact details until you've both said yes.
What if I don't like how Someo describes me?+
Change it. Choose to chat it through again and tell Someo what's off. You approve every version.
Is it free?+
Yes, always, for people.
Somewhere needs someone like you.
Five to ten questions about you, and you're ready to be introduced. Free, always.
