Why Graduates Need Different CV Advice
Standard resume advice assumes years of work experience. As a graduate, you need to demonstrate capability through education, projects, and transferable skills. Generic feedback misses opportunities to highlight your academic achievements, coursework, and the problem-solving abilities you've developed—even without professional experience.
CV structure
How to structure a graduate CV
The six sections recruiters expect from an entry-level CV, in the order that works when you have little or no experience.
- 1
Contact details and a two-line profile
Name, phone, email, city and LinkedIn — then two sentences on what you studied and the role you are targeting.
- 2
Education first
Degree, institution, dates and classification or GPA if it helps you. Add relevant modules, a dissertation title or academic awards.
- 3
Projects and dissertations
Treat your best university, bootcamp or personal projects like jobs: what you built, which tools you used, what the result was.
- 4
Internships, part-time work and volunteering
Short entries with one or two achievement bullets each. Customer-facing and team roles show reliability and communication.
- 5
Skills
A tight list of tools, languages and certifications that match the postings you apply to — no rating bars, no vague soft skills.
- 6
Keep it to one page
One page for most graduates; two only with substantial internships or research. Plain layout, standard headings, saved as PDF.

Frequently Asked Questions
I have no work experience. Can I still have a strong CV?
Yes. University projects, coursework, volunteer work, and extracurricular activities all demonstrate capability. Our analysis helps you present these experiences professionally and highlight transferable skills.
Should I include my part-time or retail jobs?
If they're relevant or recent, yes. Even retail and hospitality roles demonstrate customer service, teamwork, and reliability. We help you describe these experiences in terms that translate to professional contexts.
How long should a graduate CV be?
One page is ideal for most graduates. Two pages only if you have significant relevant experience (research, internships, projects). Our analysis flags if your CV is too long or too short for your experience level.
Should I include my GPA or grades?
Include strong grades (First class, 2:1, GPA 3.5+). For lower grades, focus on relevant coursework, projects, or practical achievements instead. Our analysis considers your specific situation.
How do I compete with candidates who have more experience?
Focus on recent, relevant skills and enthusiasm to learn. Highlight specific projects or coursework that demonstrate job-relevant abilities. Entry-level employers value potential and cultural fit alongside experience.
