Turn school experience into CV strengths

A first CV can demonstrate readiness through projects, responsibilities, volunteering, and transferable skills.

Name the contribution

Instead of listing an activity alone, explain what you organised, solved, improved, or delivered and who benefited.

Support strengths such as teamwork, communication, and reliability with a short example from school, sport, community, or personal projects.

Adapt the order and wording for each opportunity. Put the most relevant skills and achievements where they can be seen quickly.
