About Sarah

Sarah graduated with an Honours degree (2:2) in Modern Languages (French and Italian). She thought about graduating with an ordinary degree at the end of third year, which would not have been uncommon in Scotland, but eventually decided she'd like to do Honours. She also studied marketing and computing in her 1st year at university. She came to university straight from school and has four Highers English, Maths, French and Geography A, B, A, B. (She started Italian when she reached university). Her Italian and French are both pretty good, though her Italian is probably now more fluent since she has spent more time in Italy.

Her degree included a year abroad, working as an English language assistant, and she spent the summer immediately after that in Italy working on a campsite. During her last year at school and her first three years at university, she worked part-time for Asda shelf filling, checkout, receiving deliveries etc and during her last year at university she worked as a waitress in a local bar/restaurant.

She really enjoys amateur dramatics and is an active member of a local drama group who put on a musical every year. She has never had a starring role, simply a few roles in the chorus and a bit of experience helping with the admin - tickets, selling programmes etc. Up until she left school she played the French horn in both the school and the local music academy orchestra. She spends a fair amount of time with friends (clubs, cinema, eating out), goes to the gym reasonably regularly and enjoys going abroad on holiday.

So, how can Sarah put this into a CV which will impress an employer?
