It’s essential that your CV for graduate jobs makes an instant impact in less than a minute so how can you be sure you’re achieving this? In order of priority are: Accuracy of information: all employment history details such as names, locations and dates should be accurate and honest! Spelling and grammar: ensure all your content is proof read and exempt of spelling and grammatical errors. Detailed work history: aim to include a comprehensive yet concise work history, ensuring any gaps are justified. Layout: be economical with your content - making your CV longer than two pages could be detrimental. Ensure that all content is clearly labelled and is easy to navigate. Using bullet points to list duties, responsibilities and achievements improves legibility and navigation. A confusing CV will very rarely withstand a potential employer’s patience!
