Put Your Education to Work

Page 2 of 3

On your Monster CV, the CV Builder will place your education after experience. If you need to highlight educational credentials, use the "Objective" section as a career summary and mention your relevant education and training both here and in the designated "Education" section.

The Degree

If you are a student or recent graduate, list your degree level if it is 2:2 or higher. Consider including a lower level if you are in a very challenging programme. As your career progresses, degree level becomes less important and can be removed.

Honours

Include academic honours to show you excelled in your program.

New Grads

Students and new grads with little related work experience may use the education section as the centerpiece of their CV’s, showcasing academic achievements, extra-curricular activities, special projects and related courses. For example:

ABC College -- London

BA in Communications, concentration in advertising, anticipated graduation December 2006

Senior Project: Currently completing mock advertising campaign for Coca-Cola (billboard/print/TV/radio ads, direct-mail campaign and press releases).
