CV for summer job

Former Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru

June 2007 in Work & Study

I'm going to be living in Cornwall for the summer while my boyfriend finishes his masters down here. I want to get a job to help out my finances but mainly to pass some time! I've never really had a barwork/shop job before... I'm about to start rewriting my CV which is currently hugely geology-mining biased. What main skills do I point out?

I'm thinking team-work, dealing with strangers/customers/contractors, reliability, numeracy, communication, foreign languages. That kind of thing. I think I have transferable skills and evidence for all this.

Can you suggest anything else that might give me an edge?
