name: graduate-cvdescription: "Write a first CV for a student or recent graduate with little work experience, using coursework, projects, part-time jobs, societies and volunteering as real evidence.

Produces a one-page CV with education first, evidence-based project and activity bullets, a skills section tied to proof, and a list of quick additions that would strengthen it before deadlines."version: 1.0.0

Graduate CV

"No experience" is almost never true. A dissertation is a project. A part-time job is customer service, reliability and handling pressure. Running a society is leadership with a budget. This skill finds that evidence, writes it in the shape employers recognise, and keeps it to one honest page.

Part of the pm-cv bundle.

What This Skill Produces

• A one-page CV with education first
• Evidence bullets from projects, jobs, societies and volunteering
• Skills tied to proof: each skill linked to where it was used
• Quick additions: small things that would strengthen the CV before the next deadline

Required Inputs

Ask for these if not provided:

• Education: institution, course, expected or final grade, relevant modules, dissertation or final project
• Everything else: part-time jobs, internships, societies, sport, volunteering, personal projects, competitions
• The target: graduate scheme, internship, a specific sector, and the country

Working from a brief

Given a degree, part-time work and activities, write the complete CV anyway, using coursework, projects, the job and the society role as real evidence, with [bracketed] placeholders where a result or date is needed. Never invent grades or results.

Framework

Ask, for each activity: what did you do, for how many people or how much money, and what happened because you did it?

Order:

1. Education, with grade and two or three relevant modules or the final project
2. Projects (academic or personal), described like work: goal, method, result
3. Work experience, including part-time and casual jobs
4. Leadership and activities
5. Skills and languages, each with proof

Rules:

• One page.
• Grades: include them if they help. If a grade is not yet final, label it "predicted" or "expected".
• Part-time work is real work. "Served customers" becomes "handled 80+ customers a shift during peak trading".
• Campus recruitment in some countries (for example China and India) uses the university's or employer's own template; follow it if one is given.

Output Format

Graduate CV: [name], [target]

1. The CV (one page) 2. Evidence found: activities the person had not thought counted 3. Quick additions | Addition | Time needed | Why it helps |

Quality Checks

• One page
• Every activity bullet has an action and a result or scale
• Predicted grades are labelled as predicted
• Skills are linked to evidence
• Nothing is invented or inflated

Anti-Patterns

• Leaving out part-time jobs because they seem unrelated.
• A long list of soft skills with no evidence.
• Overstating roles. A society member was not its president.
• Copying a classmate's template that does not suit the target.

Example Trigger Phrases

• "Write my first CV. I'm graduating next summer."
• "I have no real experience. What can I put on my internship CV?"
• "Help me with my CV for graduate schemes."
• "帮我写一份校招简历。"
