Start with your professional experience and move the education section to the bottom. Also, remove the hobbies unless they are relevant.

I'd even remove the address, just have your name, phone number(s) and email address in the header. No DOB, no marital status. It may make sense to list your language skills since this country has become so much more colourful in the past few years.

You don't need to list your references either, they can get these off you later.

Talk a little more under each job about what you achieved - any bright ideas you had, big events you helped organise, new starters you trained etc. Also look at the job spec and make sure that every requirement listed is demonstrated on your CV.

Good luck

Get someone to check your spelling. You use two full stops at one point for no good reason and you spell menu as meau at another point.

Just noticed that you list your experience backwards - your most recent job should ALWAYS be first!

She Devil

Oh lord, the spelling is terrible

Curriculum is even spelt wrong.

Sept 08 - now ... change the now to present.

Junior Certificate - you had wrong spelling.

If i were you i would bullet point exact duties you did in each place, and use your summary at top of each position.

Hobbies and Interests aren't needed in there.

Put your education experience at the very bottom ...

Your personal Details should include

Name :

Address :

Phone No:

D.O.B

Nationality

(Driving licence if you have one)

Best of luck
