    Its relevant experience, so keep it in. Just a heads up for this position you will need to demonstrate significant leadership potential so include any leaderships positions you had either in college, community or professional.

    Good luck and enjoy your grilling from Duncan.

    Should I include the leadership positions in the cover letter or the actual CV?

    I would say both, refer to it in the cover letter but facts only in the body of the CV.

    I hope you don't mind some honest input.. :)

    I think the layout of your CV is pretty poor, if I received it for a graduate type position I probably would not give it a second glance. I think it would be worth your while looking at some more professional CV's on the web, and mimicing the style (do you really need a detailed list of duties for each job? You dont tell me what value you bring to the table.. etc.).

    Anyway, best of luck (and no offense meant with my input)..

    I have to agree with Welease.

    Thanks for the honest input would prefer that to a lie any day :)

    That one was made by my college's career advisor and I had my doubts myself thats why I put it up on boards. I'll make another one soon :)
    Thanks again

    I'd second that also. Content is good enough but layout is all over the place a bit

    I'd also look at some of the content.. :) You give more space to a job stacking shelves years ago than the 4 years you did on your degree (which I assume is what they will be interested in for a graduate position).

    Personal one here, but the OP refers to "excellent" customer service a couple of times (iirc). If you don't have a way of proving this, I'd be wary of stating it. I have seen interviews get bogged down when a line fo questioning goes in that direction :)
