CVs and covering letters
What is a student or graduate CV format?
You might consider using a student or graduate CV if:
- you're still at school, college or university
- you've recently finished a full-time course.
With a student or graduate CV you highlight your qualifications first. If you’ve been in full-time education most of your life your qualifications will probably be your main achievement. If you don't have a lot of work experience, try to make your course work relevant to the skills you’d use in the job. For example, you probably use time management, research and IT skills every day. You may also be able to say you’re a fast learner, and are up to date with the latest equipment and techniques in your field.
