hoping for some advice on what to include on my CV.

I studied a bachelor of applied science in physiotherapy. 3years through my 4 year degree i recognized Physiotherapy was not the job for me and started pursuing other interests however I did finish the degree with the intention i would later take on some post graduate study.

I have been working as a sales and stock purchasing analyst for the last 7-8 years in both Sydney and London - focussing heavily on business development within the middle east and far east.

I now have 7 years experience in this one very specific and technical field within the fashion retail industry however have had 3 jobs (plus 1 6 month contract after i relocated to london)

I am concerned it looks patchy

On one hand, the science background and interaction with patients has afforded me a lot of knowledge and skills that i know i draw upon every day. On the other i;m concerned i appear to jump around a lot, (although i have been in this industry for 7 years now)

Should I include physiotherapy on my application? or just put 'bachelor of applied science' on my cv?

Next question - the title of my job is not very well known.
Should I use my existing job title "i.e. merchandiser" - which not many people really knows what that means or does
or should I translate that to layman terms 'sales analyst', inventory planner etc

any advice welcome

thanks
alex
