George is a commuting student with significant caring responsibilities. He’s also worked for a year before university as well. He’s keen that his love of the subject and his ability to relate to others come across in his CV as he believes that these strengths will be really useful as he’s going to be contacting commutable theatres and performing arts premises to enquire about summer work/internships in their marketing departments.
