Did you lead the university football team to victory this year? Have you been awarded a scholarship? Have you successfully raised money for a charity and participated in a sponsored event? Have you started a new society? 7 8 ❚❚ Positions of responsibility: Have you chaired a committee? Acted as treasurer of a society? Been a course rep? Taken on the captain position of a sports team? Positions like these help you to demonstrate that you can make decisions and take on responsibility. 9 ❚❚ Interests: To demonstrate further skills, to get your personality across a bit, or to just add something else to make your CV stand out, include some information about your interests. If you have interests relating to the job, definitely mention these but avoid clichés about activities such as socialising and reading. 10 www.ljmu.ac.uk/careers List entries in this section in reverse chronological order, i.e. starting with your most relevant qualification. 2 You can highlight relevant content from your degree, e.g. module titles, final-year dissertation, practical work etc. 3 Provide a brief summary of your GCSEs rather than listing all subjects. 4 Separate your work experience into relevant (i.e. teachingrelated) and other experience. Give an overview of key responsibilities, age ranges/key stages you worked with, relevant experience gained and achievements. 5 Also include any voluntary teaching-related/classroom experience gained alongside your undergraduate studies. 6 You can highlight any additional qualifications you have achieved in areas like coaching, safeguarding, first aid, equality and diversity. List these in reverse chronological order. 7 Keep entries in this section fairly short by providing a brief summary of your role. 8 In this section, you can include information regarding extracurricular achievements, fundraising activities, membership of relevant clubs or societies, or positions of responsibility (e.g. course representative). 9 Focus primarily on any interests that relate to the role and provide some brief details for these.
