You might need to adjust it a bit but I reordered it & gave it more spacing/focus. The .doc looks a bit weird. Check for mistakes (I didn't proof & may have added some).
Leave the number & address. It's expected. Don't put it online like this though (put fake).
BAE is worth more than most of the rest of the CV (good enough for them, good enough for us). BAE is very selective of it's grads. The retail job is optional but Brits like to work with people they get on with (high priority esp high up). If you can manage customer service, that's probably good. Hence left in for now. The people looking at your CV don't want to work with robots or idiots.
Long intro is a waste of time. There is a stack of CVs from 1cm to 2 inches (if printed). A simple hard hitting line to sum your levels up is enough. Craft it like a good post title but keep it short/focused. It's not about your dreams it's about "are you suitable?" (imagine 20% literally are apply for the wrong role).
Stuff in red is for changing per job.
"Hobbies". In general, it is not needed, but I like to have a line that says something about personality. Sometimes it will be funny, sometimes serious. It's optional but a chance to shine. Langauges. Unicycles, acrobat, bbq, food. Whatever. Match it with the job (people, not role) but stand out, suitably.
If you are going to upload it lots of places then spam it full of keywords & stuff. Read the tips out there to beat the machine.
Apply to a lot of places (hundreds). Always have an interview lined up while you are going to an interview. Don't wait between each (like everyone does). Doing this allows you to take risks, compare & not have emotional/ego related reactions. "I have another meeting with a trendy scooter sharing startup on Monday so can I answer on Tuesday? Now that I have been here I can really see myself here, everyone seems cool/smart/healthy/stylish but the interview is arranged so I should fulfil my commitment. Is 12pm OK? What's your number?". Pay raises, golden handshakes, better faster treatment. It's rare for them to say "ok, pass". If they do, pass.
Use "meeting" not "interview" eveywhere. Everyone knows you are doing it, but they also know you are reading the right stuff & can say "technical difficuties" not "spilt coffee".
A CV is just Tinder for HR. Be more swipable than the rest but imagine no one cares (the person looking is thinking "If I can find 8 good ones from this lot I won't have to fill out that horrible website again". Once you are past the CV stage the numbers get much better.
Once you have submitted, wait (a week or something, depends on the co. use judgement) & call them up (email if not but phone is more memorable). Mornings are better (11pm-1pm ish so their urgent work is done but not sleepy). "Hi, I was very interested in becoming a part of your company & was wondering if there was any progress or if your need more info etc". This works sometimes. Be bold & go for the dream companies even if you see no job listing. You can multiple times (depending).
Also, give out loads of good advice (read obscure tech articles & post) & making loads of tech social friends is a very good way to find good work if you avoid just chatting (add value).
