Tips for this field

  • +Treat your degree modules, dissertation topic, and coursework projects as legitimate experience — name the tools and skills they involved explicitly.
  • +Reframe society roles, part-time jobs, and volunteering using the same skill language the job description uses (teamwork, stakeholder communication, project delivery).
  • +Include any tools, software, or languages from coursework or personal projects by name, even at a beginner level — many are still scanned keywords.
  • +Don't bury your degree classification or expected grade — it's one of the first things graduate-scheme ATS filters check.
