Graduate CV
"No experience" is almost never true. A dissertation is a project. A part-time job is customer service, reliability and handling pressure. Running a society is leadership with a budget. This skill finds that evidence, writes it in the shape employers recognise, and keeps it to one honest page.
Part of the pm-cv bundle.
What This Skill Produces
- A one-page CV with education first
- Evidence bullets from projects, jobs, societies and volunteering
- Skills tied to proof: each skill linked to where it was used
- Quick additions: small things that would strengthen the CV before the next deadline
Required Inputs
Ask for these if not provided:
- Education: institution, course, expected or final grade, relevant modules, dissertation or final project
- Everything else: part-time jobs, internships, societies, sport, volunteering, personal projects, competitions
- The target: graduate scheme, internship, a specific sector, and the country
Framework
Ask, for each activity: what did you do, for how many people or how much money, and what happened because you did it?
Order:
- Education, with grade and two or three relevant modules or the final project
- Projects (academic or personal), described like work: goal, method, result
- Work experience, including part-time and casual jobs
- Leadership and activities
- Skills and languages, each with proof
Rules:
- One page.
- Grades: include them if they help. If a grade is not yet final, label it "predicted" or "expected".
- Part-time work is real work. "Served customers" becomes "handled 80+ customers a shift during peak trading".
- Campus recruitment in some countries (for example China and India) uses the university's or employer's own template; follow it if one is given.
Output Format
Graduate CV: [name], [target]
1. The CV (one page)
2. Evidence found: activities the person had not thought counted
3. Quick additions | Addition | Time needed | Why it helps |
Quality Checks
Anti-Patterns
- Leaving out part-time jobs because they seem unrelated.
- A long list of soft skills with no evidence.
- Overstating roles. A society member was not its president.
- Copying a classmate's template that does not suit the target.
Example Trigger Phrases
- "Write my first CV. I'm graduating next summer."
