quick points, prob easiest here:

Education and Qualifications, 2009 - Present
A-levels in progress

(ie make clear you ain't got them yet)

"also like to experience some other cultures"
"also like to experience other cultures"

They *will* ask about your artwork for here as that stands out a mile on a 'young person'(tm) CV, make sure you have a handy URL for one (or pref more) of the blobs you have done. And be clear by 'artwork' you mean illustrative pictures and not Turner masterpieces or something!

That way you can a) show them that you really have done it and the BBC really have put it up on the web and b) introduce them to H2G2 smiley - biggrin

Maybe put a line or two in the work experience along the lines of "...where I enjoyed the cusomer interaction aspects as well as working with other people in the retail environment". Do NOT write that as it will be obvious you either got it from a website or someone else. Just say you enjoyed working with people and got on well with your colleagues in the work environment in your own words. This makes you sound like a pleasant, cheerful employee who won;t be skulking out the back having a ciggie and ignoring the customers.

I should probably point out that I've dropped my CV off at Brantanos so the above changes won't be in that one. And if I don't get the job ASDA certainly looks like it'll have jobs in the future.smiley - biggrin

Good luck with all smiley - ok
Sound advice from Ictoan

Its funny however, i've written many c.v's but cannot remember EVER getting a job on the back of one. For me it has ALWAYS been meeting someone face to face at interview, and a yes or no, ( also over the phone) sealed with a handshake (solemn binding contract lol )

If they think you are a good worker, and will do a good job they will like you, the more nice people you meet the more chance you have of one of them giving you a job. smiley - smiley
