I would put your main details at the top, eg name, address, contact details (phone, mobile and email), age if you want, etc.

Then I would put a short paragraph detailing your main skills and attributes, eg:

"Aimsmum has spent many years working in the [insert here] industry and is well-qualified in this field. She is enthusiastic, organised and enjoys working as part of a team."

Follow with your qualifications, starting with your highest one. For O and A levels, you could put "10 O levels including English (A) and Maths (B)" for example, that would be sufficient.

Then list your jobs, starting with the most recent. I do this in table form, with columns for company name/address, position, dates worked, main duties and reason for leaving.

Does that help?

Even if you only have a smattering of experience in various different industries, there are always positives you can draw on, eg experienced team worker, enthusiastic and personable, good telephone manner, smart appearance, can work to deadlines and under pressure etc.
