What to put on a part-time job CV
Part-time jobs suit students, parents, carers, people with a second job and anyone easing back into work. Employers hiring part-time staff care most about when you can work and whether you will turn up, so your CV should answer both before anything else.
Keep it to one page, put your availability near the top and pick the experience that fits the job.
Whatever the job, the UK CV format applies: your name and contact details, a short profile, experience with the most recent first, then education and skills. No photo, age or date of birth.
Availability
Days and hours, term time only or all year, and how flexible you are. Be honest: it saves both sides time.
A short profile
What kind of part-time work you want, and one or two strengths that match it.
Experience
Paid jobs, volunteering, running a club or helping in a family business. Pick what fits the job and keep each one short.
Skills
Customer service, cash handling, organisation and computer skills, with a line of proof for each.
A break from work
One line is enough, for example "Career break to raise my children". Add any courses or volunteering from that time.

Part-time job CVs: your questions
How do I write my availability on a CV?
In one clear line near the top, for example "Available Monday to Wednesday, 9am to 3pm, and Saturdays". If you are flexible, say so; if you can only work in term time, say that too.
Should I explain a career break on a part-time CV?
A short line is enough, with the dates. Add anything relevant you did in that time, such as volunteering, courses or running a club. Our guide to gaps in your CV has examples.
Is a one-page CV enough for a part-time job?
Yes. For most part-time jobs one page is best: managers often read a pile of CVs between shifts, so keep it short and easy to scan.
