Creating your graduate\u2019s CV can be a frustrating task.<\/p>\n
It is usually frustrating because, often as a graduate you don\u2019t have many ideas on what should go into your CV.<\/p>\n
Everyone would have been a newcomer at some point in their lives to the working world. As a graduate, your CV needs to reflect not only your past accomplishments, but your untapped talent and future potential. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These templates are often more modern and visually appealing. Ensure the designs are likeable, yet professional. For example, you can use a design combination of blues, greys, black and white if you\u2019re applying to a corporate post.<\/p>\n Your format must allow the information on your paper to be well-positioned and organised to make reading easier. You can set indent margins around your paper to one (1) inch, or if your template already has a set border or margin. Arial or Calibri, size 11 is usually your most appropriate font option, unless stated otherwise in the job description. <\/p>\n Regarding your personal information, just your first and last name will be enough. Include your contact number and a professional sounding email \u2013 preferably your name. <\/p>\n When using headings to describe each section of your CV, ensure they are bold or in a larger font. This allows the interviewer to easily skim through the CV. If your CV\u2019s format is confusing, it will ultimately be discarded. <\/p>\n Start your CV with a professional statement using words from the job description. Words such as \u2018driven\u2019, \u2018diligent\u2019 \u2018proactive\u2019 or a \u2018problem-solver\u2019<\/a> can would captivate the reader. Furthermore, if the employer uses software to sift through applications based on key words, the mere fact that your CV reflects the job description gives you a competitive advantage. <\/p>\nStructure of your CV<\/h2><\/strong>\n
