What matters in this role

  • That you can hold down work alongside study. It says more about reliability than any adjective.
  • Positions of responsibility — treasurer, captain, course rep — described with the numbers attached.
  • Your expected grade and graduation date.
  • Availability, because for part-time work it is often the deciding factor.

Common mistakes

  • Leaving the CV nearly empty because “none of it is real work”. Weekend retail is real work.
  • Listing school subjects in detail once you are at university.
  • Two pages. One is right here.
  • A summary about being passionate and hard-working rather than what you are looking for.
