Good morning,
I am currently sorting through my CV and would like some advice on the employment history section.
I am applying for a job at a music charity in London and using the job description as a reference. I have included my experience in fundraising, PR, music, organising, editorial, team work etc. but two of the essential skills I must include are verbal and written communication skills and administrative experience. I learnt these skills when I worked at Lloyds TSB after my first year of university back in 2005. From 2006-2010, I had lots of bar jobs. I do not want to include this on the CV as they are not relevant to the position. I did have bar work included on last year, but it took up one page and looked unprofessional in my opinion and not relevant to the jobs I was applying for.
So, my question is, shall I include the administrative skills dating back from 2006 or leave this? I've also included work experience in PR, magazine, a tv/radio station, where I carried out administrative experience. However, I became more proficient using these skills at Lloyds TSB.
Many thanks
