CV Builder for Graduates
Most graduates start with the same problem: you have a degree, some placement or part-time experience, maybe a few projects — but no idea how to turn that into a CV that gets past an ATS and into a recruiter's hands.
CV Anywhere is built for exactly this situation. You get guided prompts that help you describe your experience clearly, ATS-friendly templates that work for graduate roles, and a JD Fit Checker that tells you which keywords from the job description are missing from your CV.
What to put on a graduate CV when you have limited experience
The most common mistake graduates make is thinking they have nothing worth putting on a CV. You almost certainly do. Here is what counts — and CV Anywhere's AI helps you turn each of these into strong, concise bullet points:
- Degree and classification — your course, university, expected or achieved grade
- Dissertation or final-year project — what was the brief, what did you do, what was the outcome
- Placement or internship experience — even a short placement counts as real work experience
- Relevant modules — if applying for a technical or specialist role, list relevant units
- Part-time or voluntary work — customer service, retail, coaching, volunteering all show transferable skills
- Societies and leadership roles — course rep, sports captain, committee member all count
- Relevant personal projects — a GitHub repo, a blog, a side project, freelance work
Graduate CV templates
CV Anywhere includes templates designed for graduate applications:
All templates are ATS-friendly templates and export to PDF and DOCX.
The JD Fit Checker for graduate applications
Graduate job descriptions often have long person specifications. The JD Fit Checker scores your CV against the job description and highlights the exact keywords and competencies you are missing — so you can tailor each application in minutes rather than starting from scratch.
Free to start
The free plan includes one AI CV analysis and unlimited DOCX downloads. No credit card needed.
Common questions from graduates
How long should a graduate CV be?
One page is ideal for most graduate roles. Two pages is fine if you have a placement year or significant relevant experience.
Should I include my A-levels?
Yes, until you have two or more years of full-time work experience. After that, your degree takes priority.
What if I got a 2:2?
Include it. Omitting your grade draws more attention than a 2:2. Many employers do not filter on grade for graduate schemes. Focus on making the rest of your CV strong.
