Match the abstracts with their headings.

Before you start writing your student CV, it is essential to determine the correct structure. This gives your CV a professional look and improves legibility. Use simple and clear fonts that make it easy to read your CV.

This can help you determine the education qualifications and skills to include on your CV. If you are applying for graduate studies, look at the requirements of the program and study the CV of other candidates. You can also check job descriptions in your industry to identify the common skills employers want to see on your CV.

Lead with a compelling personal statement that highlights your skills, achievements and educational qualifications. Your CV personal statement comprises two to three sentences summarizing who you are, your academic qualifications and experience, your ambitions and what you will bring to a position or an employer. Even if you have no work experience, you can use this section to highlight relevant skills, voluntary service and coursework that make you an ideal candidate.

You can add relevant subjects, coursework, projects, awards and grades if they improve your chances of getting the role.

Start from your most recent educational qualification in reverse chronological order. If you have a higher degree, you can drop your high school credentials from the CV. Mention your education first if you have no work experience.

When listing schools, include the name of the program, school and the year of graduation. If you are an undergraduate, you can list essential courses and modules relevant to the role. You can also include your expected degree classification and previous grades if they improve your candidacy.

Even if you have no paid work experience, you can include volunteer work, placements, internships and team activities in your CV. These activities can help you highlight workplace skills and demonstrate your passion for the position.

In this section, start from your most recent role. Include voluntary work, internship placements and all full- and part-time paid work relevant to the role. Each position needs to include the company name, job title and the months and years that you worked.

After writing your CV, read the document multiple times before sending it to the employer. You may have excellent credentials, but typos and grammatical errors can send the wrong impression to recruiters. Many free online tools will check your CV for grammar and style errors. You might also consider having another person review your CV for feedback on how to improve the content and quality.
