Advice for my CV:

Hi there,

I am about to enter my first year of University and, if possible, could someone look through my CV and tell me whether its good enough for me to apply to part-time jobs? I don't have a lot but I'm not sure what else I can include on my CV

Thank You

There are lots of templates online -

Key Skills? Not sure why some stuff is in bold and the work experience is descriptive [and too long] rather than focusing on skills

Work Experience needs a brief description of the project followed by bullet points that give facts and stats.

You were promoting Touchlight; great...but who are they?

Collaborated to find collaborators...repetitive.

'...facilitating seamless updates'; anyone can say that. What does it mean?

'.. acceptance of all team proposals.' Again, great, but how many? Two, ten?

You need to be far more objective when rereading your CV.

Looks fine to me for a student part time job where the main things are to be concise and to demonstrate you have an ounce of wit. You could make it a bit simpler and clearer when describing what you’ve done and tailor the profile for each job you’re applying for
