About 6 weeks ago now the assistant manager at work left so there was an opportunity for me to move up in the company. I had debated it for a while as it is definitely a step i would consider but was conscious that i had my final major project and dissertation to finish and still have several lectures to attend. The job would require me to work five to six days a week on mostly ten hour shifts so it was a lot to think about.
In the end i decided i would go to the interview, i thought if it's meant to be i will get the job and the other problems will sort themselves out.
I realised i needed to update my CV as i hadn't done in over a year and this was for a specific job role.
My previous CV for the sales assistant/photographer job:
and the updated version for the Assistant Manager role:
Currently
studying:
BA
(Hons) Photography at the University of Salford
I
have developed an ability to communicate and express myself through a
wide range of performance and creative subjects. Dance is one of my
hobbies which I enjoy greatly and during sixth form I had a very
personal involvement teaching 11-14 year olds two hours, this
involved choreographing my own dance routines and putting on shows
for the children to take part in. During this I gained skills in
directing and organizing people, I feel this would highly benefit me
and aid me in your working environment. I would feel confident
communicating at all levels.
