It strikes me as a bit odd that Economics gives you a BSc -- here it's a BA.
Is this a European thing?

Why would Economics be a BA? It's a science after all, even if it's the scientific equivalent of staring at sheep entrails to divine the future.
Hmmm...I could explain the differences between the English and the American school systems cause it seems that some of you are getting thrown on the different usages of high school and college and what they refer to. but I'm lazy and tired.Exult in your existence, because that very process has blundered unwittingly on its own negation. Only a small, local negation, to be sure: only one species, and only a minority of that species; but there lies hope. [...] Stand tall, Bipedal Ape. The shark may outswim you, the cheetah outrun you, the swift outfly you, the capuchin outclimb you, the elephant outpower you, the redwood outlast you. But you have the biggest gifts of all: the gift of understanding the ruthlessly cruel process that gave us all existence [and the] gift of revulsion against its implications.

They're both under the "social science" umbrella here and give you BAs."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

As Starchild said, there is no such thing in the UK, normal to mention those grades. For the GCSE's though I'd just say 10 GCSE's at Grade A and A* including Maths and English. Also do you really need to take up 6 lines with A-level results?Originally posted by Ming
I would bag the individual grades in High School... and just list your grade point average...
I would also get rid of the individual grades for College as well... and just state your areas of studies and overall GPA.Jon Miller: MikeH speaks the truth

Mike, if I run out of space, I'll condense it; as it is though it is still one page long.
I've added a few comments in to try to "sell" myself, but I'd like to add something about my degree, but don't know what is best to write?www.my-piano.blogspotComment

It's fine. For an intelligent person it is a respectable, but unspectacular, grade. Anything less than a C would be considered poor.Originally posted by Ted Striker

I agree with this. The minute details of your GCSE performance are of little interest to an employer. As long as they know you were a straight-A student then they'll be happy. However, if you have any GCSEs that are specifically useful for this job (like an A* in French when the job description mentions working with continental clients) then you should flag that up.Originally posted by MikeH

Yeah, no such thing as GPAs, but for GCSEs, all As or whatever including English, Mathematics and Science.
It just seems a little too scant, one page and lots of spacing...perhaps you should discuss your degree in a little more detail, perhaps emphasising what you want to do with what you have (career direction depending). What are you looking at applying to do?Speaking of Erith:

OK, have made the GCSE bit into one line. Also added an education reference and one from Experian. Plus a bit more crap about teamwork, working to deadlines, customer interaction etc etc
