Graduate guide to writing or improving your CV

Graduate Training Schemes has put together a guide to writing your CV which is freely downloadable for all our visitors.

Many graduates find themselves committing time and money into studying a variety of subjects in great depth but are frequently overlooked when applying for roles as they do not put their skills across on their CV. CVs are the most common application method for recent graduates and senior candidates. It is critical that candidates can promote their strengths on their CV and a strong CV significantly increases your chances of obtaining an interview.

Everyone has different experiences, strengths and academic achievements which is why each CV should be unique. CVs cannot therefore be generated by computer software but must instead by planned, analysed and written for each individual.

Our CV writing guide provides the means to focus on information that should be entered onto a CV and suggests putting into a logical order. There are various example CVs to reflect how candidates with different backgrounds and targeting different roles create their CVs. The guide provides the ability to customise and personalise whilst displaying common styles that would result in a well written and well structured CV.

It typically takes approximately 8 hours to write a strong CV and we hope that our service reduces this time somewhat and provides candidates with hints and tips that ensure the finished product is stronger than the "average" CV.

Our CV service pack has been drafted in consultation with recruitment consultants who have seen thousands of CVs and who have been decisive in determining which candidates get interviewed for various positions.
