ARTICULATE YOUR VALUE
Maps represent roads as they really are. In your career journey, your map is your CV as it represents who you really are and what you have accomplished thus far. This map is your key to exploring further opportunities and helping you get to the destinations that you want. Use the tools below to help you develop your own "map".
CV builder aid
CV stands for "curriculum vitae", which is Latin for "the course of your life". Think of your CV as the story of your life, which is unique to only you, and embrace the story you are creating for yourself. Remember that when you create your story with intention, not only are you more likely to find a rewarding career that matches who you are as a person, but employers will also value you more because it portrays self-confidence in your career trajectory.
​
You will always have access to your account, so refer back to this CV builder whenever you need the extra help. We encourage you to record all the skills and experiences you are building up throughout your undergraduate education so that when you are ready to look for work, you will know how to articulate your skills and value when you present yourself to potential employers.
Add your social media accounts:
*important note about social media:
Nowadays when employers consider you as a candidate, they will almost certainly Google you and check out all your SM channels to analyze you further. Don't let your chances of getting a job hurt you by posting inappropriate content publicly. Either keep all accounts private or use social media to your advantage by presenting your strengths, your ideas, and your personality in a positive way that reflects who you really are. If employers don't like what they see then, chances are it was not a good fit for you anyways.
Education
List all degrees, diplomas, and/or certificates you've earned from accredited institutions.
experience
List all your relevant experiences that serve as evidence to potential employers that you would be a desirable candidate. This could range from paid work experience to volunteer experiences to school placements, and so on. It is important that you reflect on the skills you developed in these experiences so you can articulate to employers the skills and competencies you can bring to the table, thereby reflecting your value as a potential employee. Feel free to add as many skills as you want for each experience. Since employers love evidence, we left an optional section beneath for you to provide evidence of skills development and/or how you added value to the organization.
recognition/awards
People usually get recognized and awarded when they go above and beyond basic expectations. If you've ever been awarded, congratulations, you should be proud of yourself. We are proud of you too! Employers love to see this as it proves that you strive for excellence. List all recognitions/awards that are relevant and timely (ahem employers don't really care if you won a ballerina competition at the age of 7).
references & reviews
Career mapping was designed to connect students with employers, volunteer hosts, etc. for placements and to work on projects together. Once a placement/project is done, both stakeholders will be able to leave reviews for each other to create a culture of accountability. Your reviews by other people will go here. Make sure you try your best on all your experiences because these reviews are permanent and all future employers will be able to see them! You can always refer to this list when employers ask you for references in the future.
