Tips

Make it count.

What hiring managers look for, and how to get the most from this template.

01
Lead with your degree
Give your expected or final grade, such as a 2.1, and a few modules that match the role.
02
Part-time work counts
Retail, hospitality and summer jobs show reliability, customer service and teamwork. Give each a line or two.
03
Use societies and volunteering
Committee roles, events you ran and awards such as Gaisce all show initiative.
04
Keep it to one page
Graduate recruiters read hundreds of CVs. GrandJob tells you as soon as you spill onto a second page.
05
Apply early
Many graduate programmes open in the autumn of your final year, and some close before Christmas.
