Whether you're a new student or still have a few years until graduation, it's never too early to start enhancing your CV. There are many different ways to build a strong CV during your academic journey. The following 8 methods will help you beautify your CV and bring you closer to the job you desire!
1. Join academic clubs related to your major
Participating in academic clubs helps you apply theoretical knowledge into practical experience. It enhances your professional skills and develops soft skills that aren't taught in the classroom. Being proactive, having a positive attitude towards learning, being a good listener, and demonstrating diligence and hard work through club activities will impress employers.
2. Take on a leadership role in a social project or club
Taking on leadership roles in clubs or social projects will give you a competitive advantage in the eyes of employers. The relationships you build and the valuable lessons learned from leading a group will contribute to your early career development, accumulating knowledge and skills for higher positions.
3. Gain research internship experience
Many companies highly prioritize students with internship experience, especially in research with published scientific papers or participation in international conferences in related fields.
4. Engage in volunteer work
Volunteer activities not only provide valuable experiences but also make your CV stand out. The reasons you choose to support these activities may be completely unrelated to your dream job, but you gain important experiences and show that you care about improving the lives of others.
5. Start your own blog
Having your own blog is an excellent way to showcase your interests, whether it's about travel, technology, or beauty. You'll earn bonus points for being passionate about something, as employers will think you'll have the same attitude at work. Moreover, many successful bloggers have turned their blogs into a great platform for career development.
6. Learn a new skill
Use your free time to learn a useful skill to enhance your CV. Enroll in a language course or a practical social skill course.
7. Be active on social media
Social media is becoming increasingly important and reflects your personality the most. Link your social media accounts in your CV. Employers can learn more about your hobbies and social communication skills through them. But always make sure that your personal profile is appealing to employers.
8. Last but not least: Focus on your studies
While doing all the above to improve your CV, never neglect your studies. Many work experiences will make you stand out when applying for a job, but employers also care about your grades. So, don't forget to study diligently!
