Work:

Princess Yachts International PLC Marine Engineer September 2006 – Present

I started my apprenticeship with Princess Yachts International in September 2006, and I have been working as a fully qualified Marine Engineer since January 2010.

My job role includes being able to work on all areas of the boat; this includes building engine rooms and propulsion systems, running looms and wiring 24 volt DC and 240 volt AC, running and connecting pipework and plumbing systems and fitting lighting and entertainments

I am currently working on the Princess 72 motor yacht building the lower helm console, this includes laying out all cable runs, connecting 24V DC systems and navigational equipment, wiring circuit breaker panels and screens and setting up steering as well as testing all components when the console is finished.

Interests and Hobbies:

I have a strong interest in travelling and I am committed to migrating to Australia. I like motor sports such as drag racing and 4x4 Land Rover competitions, in which I participate with my Father. I enjoy reading and walking when I take out my dog. I have an interest in computers from laptops to Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. I like meeting up with my friends and I enjoy driving, which falls in with the motor sports. I have helped my Dad do work on his 4x4 and I do work on my own car.

As per the others, education should be newest first and you really could also summarise the school part. As in, does it really matter you got a D in geography but rescue the situation with a C in art? Just say 7 GCSEs.

Spelling and grammar, let word have a look at it and definately no commas before 'and'.

Personally I put my personal statement after education and work experience. Page 1, qualifications and work experience. Page 2, personal statement/additional skills, other interests to show your human side.
