CV Majster knowledge base

Entering the job market after finishing school is a challenge that needs the right strategy. You can make up for a lack of experience with activity in student research groups, volunteering or your own projects.

The first step is to identify your strengths and the industry you want to grow in. Then prepare a professional profile and a CV that focus on your skills and education.

Do not limit yourself to answering job ads. Use job fairs, student internships and direct contact with the HR departments of companies that interest you.

Key tips:

  • Identify your strengths: list your student projects and extracurricular activities.
  • Build a portfolio: present your work so far as a clear file or website.
  • Look for internships and traineeships: they are the best way to gain valuable experience in the industry.
  • Be active at job fairs: talk to recruiters and leave your documents.
