Your hobbies look like a bunch of key / random words, stick to 3 if you want to put hobbies at all💀
Idk....in my head I thought listing many things that genuinely interest me will increase my chances of having something that would resonate with whoever looks at my CV. So I did a lot of thinking and tried to write something close comprehensive.
Perhaps I was a bit extreme.
PS: Do you think that will reduce my chances of getting an interview?
I think that you got an overall interesting CV, congrats!
I cannot really answer your question, but I’ve seen how my employer reviews CVs and I would recommend you to summarise it. I doubt seeing anyone asking you about “Egypt and it’s pyramids” unless if you’re an actual expert with fascinating adventures. Also, “Egypt and its pyramids”, “pre-modern combat”, etc could all be classified into one category - “History”. The same applies to other categories.
As a recommendation, try to stick to hobbies to which you can hold a conversation.
Best,
This is actually not bad apart from the hobbies which has been mentioned.
I can see you're gunning for IB, but gonna be honest here and say that uni is gonna hold you back.
You mean University of Salford (because it is not a target school)?
Yes but "not a target school" is a bit of an understatement.
Oh alright, just to clarify, is there anything particularly scandalous about the uni?
I enrolled in its distance-learning master's programme, so I am not based in the UK
No. I'd honestly never heard of it until right now.
It's just like a non-target uni.
It's as non target as you can get. It's an ex-polytechnic university... just a cash grab uni, worthless courses, zero chance of making it in IB from there...
Would you recommend placing the experience before the education so as to make my IB experience the first thing the reader sees instead of my non-target Msc
