Job applications are all about representing yourself - and making a good impression - as quickly and concisely as possible. Most CVs, applications and cover letters get a quick skim-read from hiring managers. So how do you make yourself stand out?

Your CV is often the first thing a potential employer will see when you apply for a job. And we all know that first impressions count.

On average, you've got just six seconds to impress the reader. Harsh but true. It's especially the case with large corporations and businesses. When so many people apply for the same role, recruiters don't have time to read every detail. Some companies even use AI screenings, so not all CVs reach human eyes!

Sound scary? Don't worry, Bright Network's here to help. You can use this guide and our CV templates to create a CV that'll give you a competitive edge when applying for leading internships and grad schemes. So, whether it's a hiring manager or an algorithm that screens your application, you'll be sure to stand out.
