Hello,

you need to put your personal details at the top of the CV.

Education: You need to put the actual qualification achieved as well as listing where and when you studied. Otherwise, how will they know you passed the course?

Computer Skills: I believe it is Dreamweaver not weather.

Miscellaneous point of interest: Not an appropriate heading. Try 'Other interests' and expand a little - which martial art to what level? Afro is an odd word to use here - do you mean African literature or African-American literature? Literature from black writers?

You should also include a paragraph on your personal attributes and type of personality.

Work experience: Have you no voluntary or part-time work experience you could mention. Were you involved with any societies at University? Anything to flesh out your personality a bit and show that you have taken responsibility for something.

Put down the coffee shop as work experience. It does not matter what the job was, people just like to see that students have experience of the work environment.
