Just some simple things:

  1. Make sure your bullet points have the same alignment across the page. Your SKILLS, ACTIVITIES & INTERESTS bullet points are further to the right than the others.
  2. "Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia" next to "XXXX International School Malaysia Campus" is taking up two lines, make sure you fit it on one line like you did on the rest of the CV.
  3. The spacing between your sections is not consistent. For instance, there is one line of space between EDUCATION and WORK & LEADERSHIP EXPERIENCE, but no space between WORK & LEADERSHIP EXPERIENCE and SKILLS, ACTIVITIES & INTERESTS.
  4. "Honed teamwork, interpersonal, communication and persuasion skills" has too many buzzwords. It's a catch-all phrase that doesn't really do much to inform the reader. I would replace this with something more specific.
  5. Use a more professional phrase than "handle the club’s money".
  6. Interviewers/recruiters will likely want to know why there is a 2-year gap in your CV. Can you include something for the period March 2017 - March 2019?

Best of luck with your applications!
