I'm not sure I understand the nightclub thing...

it's really difficult to skim over your resume and get anything out of it (too long)

what country are you applying to jobs in?

ummm you graduated in 2010, you dont have a major gpa if you have a UK landline, you have a degree classification.

This, in my opinion, would come across as a default cv for american applications also trialled at UK's.

I had a 2:2 as well, would be interested where you went to university, that will have a huge impact, but if you had some subjects where you did well on, and your dissertation, was a good mark, list that separately.

2 pages is too much for straight out of college.

Okay few additional points

I only added the work section, - just to show i've got customer service/relations skills, shows I have had experience working albeit not related, - suggest I remove it?

I went to a non target Uni, just shy of a 2:1

""""you dont have a major gpa if you have a UK landline, you have a degree classification"""" -> I can't believe I overlooked this small detail.... (second pair of eyes makes all the difference)

I didn't complete a dissertation, but you suggest I list my University module marks on my resume?

I'm applying in europe (outside the UK)

anyways thanks for the replays so far, all taken into consideration.

I'm bored so I'll take a stab at this:

-Take the accents off of resume, it looks pretentious -Use one line for contact details -Keep your formatting consistent (e.g. heading styles) -A 2:2 is not a GPA -Take your GCSEs off, unless they're all A* in which case put a one line bullet point stating that -What did you do for the nighclub? -What did you do for the restaurant? What increase did you see from the SEOs? -How much did you make from your domain name investments? -This Market Values and DataStream stuff is just awful. You downloaded something and put something into Excel? Holy shit. Figure out some way to make it sound like you did something worth while or take it off. -A lot of your points are very generic and obvious. You discovered that a global company has greater economic exposure? Somebody call the Nobel committee. Tidy these up and figure out an actual result or take them out. -Proofread. -Spell check. -Improve your formatting. -Rowing club is good - lots of rowers go into finance. Did you hold a position of responsibility? How many hours a week did you train? Did you win or take part in any good races (e.g. Henley)? You could even drop your 2k time if it's really impressive (say under 6:30) although that could be seen as douchey but to be honest you need anything you can to stand out. -Which regional javelin event were you third in? Was it a county level championship or a competition outside your local pub? -What sort of 'recognition' id you get for football/rugby? -Is your 'conversational Spanish' good enough that someone could interview you in Spanish? -Is your website relevant? -Make your interests more interesting - what do you do at the gym? What sort of rugby? -ONE PAGE
