NMITE Graduate Attributes

The NMITE Graduate Attributes have been identified as those skills and ways of thinking that we hope we are developing in students. They are based on what employers, companies, professionals and practicing engineers have said are valuable in new graduates. These are key to explaining to employers how NMITE has prepared you for life after NMITE.

Writing a CV

One of the basic tools in job-hunting is that of a well-written curriculum vitae or CV. A CV provides the reader with a condensed view of your strengths, work and education history. It should explain why you are suitable for a particular role. It used to be that we would write one CV and take this to several potential employers: nowadays you are expected to tailor the CV for the role and/or employer. Note that usually a CV is accompanied by a cover letter.

Be aware that the expected format and content of a CV varies according to the country and at times even the sector/job role.

For example, in the UK, in general you do not add a photograph nor personal information such as date of birth, family circumstances (e.g. whether married or not), etc. In other countries, photos and personal information are expected.

CVs in the UK should not, in general, be longer than 2 pages. If you are applying for a role in academia including extra pages for lists of publications and details of your research projects is expected.
