Your CV is very brief and to the point. I would improve it by sending a really good cover letter with it which will help your prospective employer to link to the key points in your CV and help you to persuade them that you are right for the job. Here is the link to a really good hubpages article on this subject. Good luck with your application. |

When you list extra-curricular activities don't just list them add what responsibilities you had or positions you held and how long you participated in each, as a student you can also add any advanced classes you have, or classes that may be relevant to the job |
