No good employer cares if you write it at the top or not. Probably worth making your name a heading, in a font which is just large enough to read it from the floor.


As a general rule, it should be possible to skim read it in 30 seconds at most.

Put the Personal profile in a covering letter (DO have a covering letter) tailored to the position you are applying for, and back up your ability to work in a team with an example. Also try to work your ability to work independently into there.

Don't list your achievements like someone who can't construct a sentence (I do appreciate the ironing of me saying that).

so i shouldnt list them? Or list them but have more info.

Big up the cadets more.
what shall i say? I learned valuable team work skills and learnt discipline while upgrading my rank from private to major (lol?!).. ?

Don't say "hopefully".

I put hopefully because they might not accept mefull time if they think im going to university in a year

ok cool. My Cover letter :

Dear jim

I am very interested in the position of Customer Advisor.

I have just left B + W College after completing my A levels where I achieved my required grades for university. I have decided to hold off university to see what prospects I can find and to gain some proper experience in the work place. I was particularly interested in this job as the promotion opportunities seem vast and it is something I would be interested to get into.

Please find enclosed my CV which I hope has the qualities needed for this job and I hope you contact me back.
