You need to say what your GCSE's are in and where you got them. Expand on your employment history, what were your roles and responsibilitys. When did you work at these places? In regards to your interests, have you played for any teams etc. Don't just have a bullet points for your interests actually write something, if you can't think of anything interesting to write about them they probably aren't interesting.

yes.. lol

I will
 
Get rid of the DOB - they don't need that.

Also, dont put on your NI number - again, they won't need that unless you get the job.

Put employment history in reverse chronological order (most recent first)

Put grades in order B's, C's - what was the D for? I've ONLY left my D on my CV as it encourages them to ask what it was for...... to which I reply "Latin" and the interviewer laughs.


:)
 
Don't expand all your GCSES. Just put down what you got for English and Maths, thats all employers care about.

Also write a short description of your role in your last job, and the skills gained.

Also, get rid of computer games in hobbies. It doensn't make you sound good.
Employers want to hear that you can play instruments, or play in sports teams, not that you sit around on your ass gaming.

I think this is certainly not the rule of thumb. I only ever say '11 GCSEs grades X-Y' and the only other reason why I might be inclined to suggest otherwise is because it appears the OP has no further education. Even then, I would verge against listing them - rather unnecessary.

I would list something todo with gaming IF you were a guild leader or a long serving officer with responsibilities in running and maintaining the guild for 100 people etc. The focus being on the organisation and responsibility for 100 people rather than playing games to waste time. If it's gaming just to fill time, then I wouldn't list it unless I was applying for a gaming development role (although I would phrase it differently).

Don't do this, even if you know what you're doing, for a long list of reasons - one of which is that Photoshop's PDF export is bobbins.

You're not applying for design agency work anyway; a Word document will more than suffice in most cases.

Heed NickK's advice: content first :)
