What to put on a part-time job CV

Managers hiring for part-time roles often read a CV in under a minute, so short and clear works best. This part-time job CV template is a compact one-page layout with your skills as a row of tags under your name, followed by your experience and education. It suits teenagers looking for a first job, students, parents returning to work and anyone fitting work around other commitments.

There is no photo, so the focus stays on what you can do. Fill it in and preview every page for free, with no account needed. Pay £4.99 once to download it as PDF and Word, with a matching cover letter included. It is A4 and laid out for UK applications, and the text is real and selectable, so it pastes cleanly into online forms.

State your availability clearly

Say which days and hours you can work, and how that changes in school or college holidays. If you have fixed commitments, such as childcare or lectures, give the times you are free so a manager can plan around them.

Pick skill tags that match the job

Choose four to six skills from the advert, such as customer service, cash handling, teamwork, stock replenishment or a second language. Back each one up somewhere on the page with a short example.

Use transferable skills

Babysitting, volunteering, school roles, sports clubs and helping in a family business all show reliability and people skills. One line on what you did and one on what it shows is enough.

Keep education short

List your school or college with dates, your GCSEs or predicted grades and the course you are studying now. Name English and Maths with their grades, as many employers look for those.

Write a two-line profile

Start with who you are, the hours you want and one strength, such as being calm with customers. Change it for each job so it fits the shop, café or venue you are applying to.

Questions

How do I write a CV for my first job?

Start with your contact details, a short profile and your availability. Add your education, then anything that shows you are reliable, such as volunteering, school responsibilities, sport or helping family. List a few skills that match the job. One page is enough, and employers know you are just starting out.

What should a teenager put on a CV?

Your name, phone number, email and town, a short profile, the days you can work, your school and GCSEs or predicted grades, and any experience such as babysitting, a paper round or volunteering. Leave out your date of birth and a photo. Ask a teacher or coach if they would act as a reference.

Is one page enough for a part-time job CV?

Yes. One side of A4 is the right length for almost every part-time role. Managers want to see your availability, a few skills and your recent experience quickly. If you have more experience than fits, keep the most relevant jobs and shorten the rest to a single line each.

Should I include unrelated jobs on a part-time CV?

Usually yes, briefly. Any job shows you can turn up on time, follow instructions and work with others. Describe the parts that link to the new role, such as serving customers or handling money. If you have plenty of relevant experience, older unrelated jobs can be grouped into one line.
