How to sell your skills
on your CV….?
Its widely acknowledged
that having a degree is no
longer enough to secure
you a job, and this is set
to increase with
increasing numbers of
the population entering
higher education.
Employers are asking
more to what students
have at University
outside of their degrees,
and those who have
taken part in student
activities have a huge
advantage when it comes
to applying for jobs.
Remember, it‘s not just
about having the skills,
it‘s about being able to
sell them well to potential
employers when writing
your CV, filling in
application forms, and at
interviews.
• Always put yourself in
the position of the
employer – What would
you want to know?
• Once you have written
your CV or application,
go through and write ―so
what?‖ next to
everything. If it isn‘t
relevant, take it out.
