Dear Anna,
Start by using Canva for your CV. Choose from their many templates and customize one to fit your career goals.
If your experience is limited, don't worry. Highlight your eagerness to learn by stating that you're keen to gain new skills and knowledge.
Share your passion and reasons for wanting to work there. Mention if you love history or if you’re patient, for example.
Hope this helps!
