too long didnt read. list your education, time and possible offical certifications, military service etc.

anyways, you are not going to get a job with a pretty cv, you get a job asking from people you already know, mainly relatives, friends.

what if you come from the dirt and have no friends or family who work in big places. I would struggle to believe everyone in graduate schemes/interns in finance or risk get there because of contacts they know.

They're giving CV's out to anybody now apparently. What you have isn't a CV...It's a resume. You're not published, you're not a doctor, you don't have a bunch of certs under your belt. You're just a uni grad. Calling that a CV is an insult. Call it a resume or you'll sound pretentious. No

I think your format looks really nice. Drop the references available on request phrase. That is implied. Also, the best way to give bullet points about your previous work is to list quantifiable accomplishments, not responsibilities. This may be tough with shit tier jobs like admin assistant, but you should be able to give some good performance metrics for your order management job.

In the UK, they use CV/Resume interchangeably. In fact, they almost never use the term "resume" - that's a word you only hear in movies. So when OP uses the term "CV", he just means the thing he hands in for job applications.
