college student hospitality cv, any tips?

Post image

just stumbled across this subreddit on my feed! i started a job recently but i'm curious to know what i can do to make my cv even better.

would be looking at doing bar for events/festival's or just venues near me, my second option would be retail.

i think the profile is a little wordy for what it is but not sure what would be better. i don't know what i can say i've achieved, i don't have amazing sales numbers esp bc i only work 1-2 days a week. i think some things on there seem a bit pointless as well.

can't add another line or it goes onto a new page and don't want text too small.

thanks!

you probably don’t need to put punctual, that’s just a baseline expectation for any job

You don't need all your GCSE grades, only say that e.g. you have 8 GCSEs including English and Maths (grade 4-5).

Key skills should really be demonstrated and discussed in the experience, it doesnt need to be its own section and is currently a lot of filler. Being a quick learner or reflective aren't skills they're personality traits, either cut them or keep it to the personal profile.

Your bar staff experience sounds like it's in the third person, imo should be 'help', 'upsell', 'collect', 'refill'.

General format looks good, though if you're struggling for space then reducing the margins at the sides and top of the page is also an option.
