Why this works
With little full-time experience, your job is to show potential through evidence.
Put your degree first
Employers expect to see your degree and grade near the top. Add a line or two on a project, dissertation or module that relates to the job.
Use every kind of experience
Placements, part-time jobs, societies and volunteering all show skills. Describe what you did and achieved, not just the job title. Leading a shift or managing a budget counts.
Choose numbers that fit
Students and graduates do not need big business figures. Team sizes, events run and hours saved are enough to show scale.
Fit one page
A graduate application should be one page. Cut older school detail first, and keep it for the application form if it is requested.
