CVs and Applications
Nowadays it’s common for students to have had some work experience before coming to university. You may already possess a CV and be familiar with making applications.
Advice on CVs and Applications
Now that your goal is graduate employment it’s important that you use your time at university to enhance your CV. This means developing the skills that employers of graduates are looking for by broadening your work experience and taking advantage of the opportunities that come with student life. It also means developing your ability to impress employers with well constructed, focused applications and a well crafted CV that markets your skills and achievements effectively.
