A03 CV Development (15%)
Overview and motivation
Preparing a strong Curriculum Vitae (CV) or Resume showcasing research and technical skills is a
core competency required to enter and advance in the academic and industrial workforce in an
engineering and/or research role. A CV is often the first impression that an employer receives from
a candidate when being considered for a position. A poorly assembled CV may eliminate candidates
from consideration in initial job selection processes. Producing an effective CV and presenting
research skills can be challenging, particularly for graduates entering the workforce in their early
career phase. This assessment task is designed to help students consolidate their research and
technical experience into a document that effectively communicates their capabilities and skills to a
future employer; thereby enhancing their career-readiness and future employability.
Learning outcomes
Upon successful completion of this task, you will have:
• identified the elements required for an effective engineering and/or research CV and
implemented all elements for the CV tailored towards an industry or academic role;
• analysed an active job listing to extract key details communicating the needs of the employer;
• presented your research and technical skills, professional experience and achievements
effectively and succinctly for the targeted job listing;
• enhanced your understanding of future engineering/research career prospects in industry and
academia that align with your skills and experience.
Format
As an individual, select an online job advertisement for an engineering and/or research industry
or academic role relevant to your skills and career goals. Complete the ‘A03 CV Development - Job
Listing Attachment’ document available on Moodle to summarise the details of the job
advertisement. This document is designed to help you identify and analyse the key aspects of the
advertised position and is also used to assess the suitability of your CV for the job listing.
