Why Use STARS?

Steven Skinner gives us a recent graduate's perspective about why Situations, Tasks, Actions, Results and Skills is useful for students and graduates

Seven Skinner

"Writing an effective CV can be a very difficult process. It's sometimes hard to identify the skills that you may have picked up working in casual or part time work. It's also difficult to then articulate these skills in an effective way on your CV.

The problem is then compounded when you try and gain help, where there are thousands of students to only a few careers advisors. I can see this would be a great initiative to help all students improve their CV and ultimately, their employability, and I would urge all students to utilise it."
