🎓 Graduates: the job market is more competitive than ever.
UK employers are now receiving an average of 140 applications for every graduate vacancy – a record high. Some employers have reported over 1.2 million applications for fewer than 17,000 graduate roles. (ISE)
The reality?
Your degree gets you into the race.
Your CV determines whether you get shortlisted.
Before a recruiter reviews your application, your CV may first be screened by ATS software. Then, if it reaches a recruiter, you have seconds to make an impression.
A strong CV should:
✅ Be ATS-friendly
✅ Include role-specific keywords
✅ Clearly showcase achievements and skills
✅ Be tailored to the role you’re applying for
In a market where 140 people may be competing for the same opportunity, generic CVs rarely stand out.
