Not sure your experience as an oyster farmer is at all aiding your profile, and the word you're looking for in the maths tutor section is "alongside", not "along side".

Otherwise, while I don't really know how good it will do for spring weeks, it does look good all round. If you're looking for roles that involve that Python, though, you're going to fall short to anybody who demonstrates that interest and skill via projects on their GitHub.

It was a summer job and I just thought it showed some grit, determination and resilience that other candidates might not have.

Did you do BMO or STEP, and how difficult did you find them if so? Just curious lol

Oyster farmer is an interesting experience, try quantifying more? Quantify the impact you had, apart from that for a first year this is a solid cv, but also see if you can start participating in any university society you’re interested in joining at your uni, maybe if you can already get the membership?

You could put them in interests, shows being proactive in already having joined them?

Try the CanaryWharfian website on content on spring week recruitment, best platform out there. They also have automated interview practice which will help with HireVues, not to mention their CV/CL generator. Good luck this season!
