Fresh graduate? 7 CV hacks to land your first job fast!

    Share on

Creating an effective graduate CV is essential for job applications, especially when work experience is limited. The following seven tips help in making a professional and impactful CV:

  1. Include a personal statement – Begin with a short introduction about who you are, your career goals, and what you can offer, tailored to the specific job.

  2. Focus on education – Since fresh graduates may lack extensive work experience, highlight educational qualifications, relevant coursework, grades, projects, and academic achievements.

  3. List any work experience – Include even unrelated jobs if they demonstrate transferable skills such as teamwork, communication, or leadership.

  4. Only list relevant hobbies and interests – Mention hobbies that align with the role or industry to show additional skills or enthusiasm.

  5. Keep it simple – Use a clean, easy-to-read format with concise points, avoiding over-design or lengthy details; ideally, fit on one page.

  6. Add references – Include at least two references (academic and professional) or state “available upon request” if you prefer not to share details immediately.

  7. Go through rounds of edits – Proofread for errors, review after a break, read aloud for flow, and get feedback from others, like a career advisor.

In short, a graduate CV should clearly present education, relevant skills, and personality in a simple, tailored, and error-free format.
