CV
Graduates have several challenges. Firstly,
if they have not worked whilst at university, they face similar
issues to the school leavers, as they probably don't have
a lot of work experience related to the job they want. Beside
it, graduates use to make a couple of basic mistakes when
approaching their graduate CV writing process:
- They can be too hard on themselves and
they lack the confidence to emphasize their knowledge, skills,
abilities and attitudes; or
- They can be Mr. Know-It-All. This profile
truly believe that their degree confers upon them superhuman
status and that this will do all the talking.
If one, or both, of this is your case, we
assume that: first, you are young; second, you earned your
degree recently; and third, you have plenty of hope and motivation.
Your graduate CV,
especially your graduate CV
profile section, should transmit to prospective employers
this state of mind.
There are CV’s structures specifically
designed for students and graduates looking for their first
job and EasyJob CV Builder has them all.

Graduate CV Tips
Employers are increasingly interested in
well, rounded applicants, and while high academic achievement
is clearly desirable, they will be looking for evidence that
you have made most of all opportunities afforded
you at university. So getting involved in clubs and societies,
or giving something back to the community through voluntary
or charity work will well received.
Consider your schoolwork as the equivalent
of work because it required self-discipline,
completion of a variety of tasks similar to those required
in many jobs. Leadership skills, team work, presentation skills,
and so on can be gained by getting involved in extra curricular
activities and must be highlighted in the graduate CV. Most
job seekers have far more valuable skills
and experience than they realize, and usually fail to include
those 'employability assets' in their graduate CVs. In our
competitive job market, this is a mistake you can't afford.
Graduates are about the only group of people
that have employers coming to them en masse doing the Milk
Round. So, take advantage of this situation and make a great
graduate CV with EasyJob CV Builder.
