Applying for 2013 internships (ibd), and was hoping to get some last minute comments, criticisms, changes - any advice really.
Thanks in advance.





- Just put Upper Second
- Just put Upper Second Class, don't give the percentage.
- Second line of Selected Achievements, the dash seems bold compared to the one above and the text doesnt line up, looks like a double space on the line above.
- Take out the first line of your Spring Week with "confirmed my interest" and just say it was March 2012 rather than March 2012 - March 2012
- Would you be willing to have your interview conducted in Spanish? If not, don't say you are advanced at it. I'd also be careful about how strong you say your Hindi skills are. Interviewer might suddenly ask you something and if you falter, they'll think your exaggerating.

Why are you being so stingy
Why are you being so stingy with your predicted grade, you are only 4% of a first, why not predict yourself that?
Also I would consider taking
Also I would consider taking the AS levels off, Bs for both doesn't exactly scream brilliant. Especially when combined with the 2.1 you are in danger of coming across as mediocre.
Under education, take out
Under education, take out your B grades. You already have spanish listed under Skills, so don't give someone a reason to question how good you actually are at it.
Under experience, head of publicity, 2nd bullet point, you use 'the them'
then under math assistant, you delivered 'maths' lessons? Really?
