Who you are professionally speaking (e.g second year BSc Computer Science student).
What experience you have (e.g internships, voluntary, part-time, placement).

Education:

institution that you studied at, location, dates, course and the type of qualification.

experts for advice and opinion to inform the paper.

For Example: As a Sales Assistant at Argos, I am responsible for the promotion of special offers within the
store. I advise customers on specific products, whilst delivering excellent customer service. I also train team
members, informing them about store promotions and special offers. I am required to work accurately and
efficiently to meet store targets. This experience has allowed me to develop good communication and team
working skills.

something then describe it.
I was awarded Most Dedicated Intern by the Flight Crew Manager for my contribution to the project and
team working abilities.
Interest and hobbies:
List your interests and hobbies here. If you have an interest that is more of a passion, where your talent has
been recognised, describe it in greater detail here, up to 30 words. Again be mindful that its not just what
you did, but how you did it that will impress a prospective employer. Hobbies and interests can be a useful
way of showing that you can do a job well, even if you lack specific experience in it.
