CV Review

Hi can anyone please give me a review of my CV, I notice I have been rejected from lots of job lately, and wanted to know if there can be any improvement to be made.

I will be applying mostly to warehouses and retail to earn some money for my university funds.

Sensitive information in my CV will be censored out.

Many thanks

Make sure that all the skills they are asking for are in your CV and ideally with some sort of tangible "thing" that demonstrates where you used that skill. Ideally this will be work experience but failing that, this is where all those extra-curricular activities and hobbies come in.

Good luck!
You haven't quantified anything you've done. What is fast and accurate? How is team performance assessed? What is a goal achievement? You need facts and figures in there, not just buzzwords that anyone could write.

Also, whilst a sixth-former wouldn't have that much experience, is McDonalds the only thing to put? No school societies, prefect, mentoring, uniformed organisations, charity fundraising, volunteering? That's everything I'd done by age 18.
