TipsCV

How to adapt this project coordinator CV

  • Open with a short profile: the job you want, what you have studied or done so far, and one or two strengths you can back up.
  • Little or no paid experience? Part-time work, volunteering, projects and placements all count. Say what you did and what changed because of it.
  • Keep education near the top while it is your strongest selling point, with relevant modules, grades or projects.
  • Match your skills to each advert. This example leads with Project Scheduling (Microsoft Project), RAID Logs and Document Control; keep the ones that are true for you, in the employer's own words.
