Was your CV this good at age 18?

On a serious note, critique away.
I shall be applying to spring week programmes this September as a first year (freshman) and wanted to make sure my CV was solid enough to guarantee interviews at least.
If it matters: I'll be studying an engineering discipline at Imperial/ UCL (still undecided).

Take general studies out, add a comma between your econ and further maths grades. Write 'Predicted' where your grades are not achieved. Have you not had any p/t jobs to write about... I mean.. that last more than a few days? Take GCSE French out of languages and add it to your education instead (the contention that beginner French would be useful in an office environment is silly). Take the apostrophe out of 'pilot's', it should read 'pilots'. Reword your first line for your BP internship, it does not read well. Good luck with the apps!

 

Maybe instead of blowing your own horn you get on your knees and practice your blow job skills because that's the only thing that's going to help you when you list day long "work experience"

 

You've got a bright path ahead of you. Plan well, manage your time correctly, and you'll be a rockstar in no time. MAN I wish I was organized at 18.. Too busy with girls & booze

I have a tender spot in my heart for cripples, bastards, and broken things

Take out the "references available on request" section. It's taken as a given (at least here in the US) and is considered to be a waist of space.

 

Ditch the 'native english' and 'proficiency in MS office' man also it seems like you're trying to hide something by saying 11 A-A instead of individual numbers of As and As, but that might just be me your BoAML and BP experiences are good, not many people have those from what I've seen

Under my tutelage, you will grow from boys to men. From men into gladiators. And from gladiators into SWANSONS.
