For first-time job seekers, CVs tempt applicants to account for every internship, assignment or short-term role.
Director of Human Resources at IOM, Michael Emery, puts it simply:
“Don’t paint yourself as a series of short-term internships. Paint yourself as a competency profile that speaks to the competencies of the job that you're applying for.”
Experience doesn’t only come with a job title. University projects, volunteering and extracurricular activities can all demonstrate teamwork, planning, organization, etc. All of which are valuable when entering a new work environment.
