What sets a strong business CV apart

📈

Quantified results

Revenue raised, budgets managed, members recruited, hours saved — numbers make a business CV credible.

👥

Leadership & teamwork

Society committees, group projects and part-time supervision show the soft skills employers screen for.

🧠

Commercial awareness

Tie coursework and projects to real business outcomes to show you think beyond the classroom.

✅

Polished & ATS-safe

Consultancies and banks use heavy screening. Keep it clean, consistent and error-free.

Make everyday experience sound commercial

A part-time retail job becomes “Handled 100+ customer transactions per shift and resolved complaints, improving repeat custom.” A society treasurer role becomes “Managed a £4k budget and cut event costs 15%.” The activity matters less than the result you describe.

Frequently asked questions

I only have part-time and society experience — is that enough?

Yes. Described well, part-time work and society roles show exactly the leadership, numeracy and teamwork employers want. Our no-experience guide shows how.

Should I include my A-level or high-school grades?

Include them briefly early in your degree, especially for finance schemes that ask for them, then reduce the detail as your degree and experience grow.

How do I stand out for competitive schemes?

Quantify everything, tailor the CV to each firm, and keep it to one clean page. Careero helps you do all three.
