Michelle O'Hagan, Graduate Recruitment Manager, PM Group Engineers CVs – What Recruiters Want to Know

• Use bullet points, include all relevant information, and tailor the CV to the role - highlight your relevant experience and make life easier for the recruiter and Hiring Manager!

• Reflect on the experience that you have gained in your internship/placement or part-time roles, as this will show how you have applied your academic learnings, and how you are growing in terms of your engineering and project expertise.

• Details on the projects that you have worked on are so important, so don't scrimp on the details (without turning your CV into War and Peace). Be sure to include the types of projects - continuous improvement, equipment install; the value of the projects, your role in the project; whether you had other engineers or contractors supporting you; a brief description of the project itself; if process or continuous improvement - whether it added value to the business; whether it was delivered on time and in budget; your stakeholder engagement in terms of client and contractor management; your area of responsibilitywas it cradle to grave?

• If you have qualifications in Project Management, make sure that this information is also clear on the CV, as many companies look for it and won't consider you for a project role without it.

• If applying to a process role, but from another discipline, highlight the processes that you have experience in, and the level of your experience with them.

• Make it clear what you are open to in terms of location, and don't be afraid to include a general area on your CV in terms of an address. This will help a recruiter to consider whether a role would be a comfortable commute for you, or not.

• Indicate if you have fluency in other languages, as some roles will require that, or they will at least be a benefit.
