AS levels CV

Hello i'm a year 13 leaver starting to think temporary jobs for the summer. The only problem is my AS levels are quite bad,( I am going to a Russel group university to do economics providing I get the grades of course . Anyway would it be worth putting on my CV that I got C's/D's in Maths/further maths/physics/economics? would it be better to just put down high modules? Would there still be a good chance of me getting part time work, at say a supermarket for instance because I know I can do a better job than a lot of people there.
Also should I be mentioning voluntary work? I am just putting some ideas together right now and will probably start my CV next week, Thanks :smile:

Employers don't care about your AS levels, A2s are what counts. Modules are meaningless for things like supermarket jobs. Until you have your final grades just put Studying A level Economics, Maths and Physics.

Yes, you should be mentioning Voluntary work if it gives evidence of relevant skills

Thanks! So I should just put down my gcse grades and what I'm studying? Will they be less likely to employ me if I'm going to leave after 2 months?

For GCSEs all you put is 8 GCSEs including English and Maths, or whatever is true in your case.

Unless it is a summer job, then yes, they are much less likely to employ you if they know you are only going to be there for 2 months.

Definitely mention your voluntary work. Voluntary work always looks good, and you can tell them about relevant skills you have gained while doing it.
With you AS grades. I put down the a-levels you are doing and your predicted grades, rather than your AS levels.
