What should an office boy CV include?
- Personal details: full name, mobile and WhatsApp, email, city, nationality, visa status, date of birth.
- Objective: two lines about your experience and the job you want.
- Work experience: company, position, dates, duties.
- Skills: practical, not generic.
- Additional information and references: languages, driving licence, availability.
How to write the objective
Two lines: who you are, how much experience you have, and what you want. From the template:
Reliable and well-presented office boy with 3 years of experience preparing tea and coffee, serving guests and meetings, and keeping the pantry clean and stocked. Looking to support a busy office with quick, courteous service.
Change the years and details to match yours. With no experience, write what you can genuinely do: "I can prepare Arabic coffee and tea, and I am punctual and organised."
How to write your work experience
For each job: Company, City — Position — From/To, then the duties in one line:
- Prepared hot and cold drinks for about [number] staff daily
- Served guests and meeting rooms
- Cleaned the pantry, cups and equipment
- Tracked supplies and reported before stock ran out
- Delivered documents between departments
Real numbers stand out: "served 40 staff" says more than "served staff". Only use true numbers.
Which skills to list
- Arabic coffee, Turkish coffee, tea and instant coffee
- Serving guests and senior staff professionally
- Personal hygiene and pantry cleanliness

- Title: write "Office Boy / Tea Boy" so you match both searches.
- Languages: be honest — Arabic (native), English (basic).
- Presentation: if you add a photo, make it formal and clear.
What the job involves day to day is in our office boy job description — read it before the interview.
