Graduate Application Kit
A first CV and its cover letter, laid out for study, projects and part-time work rather than years of job titles.
- In it
- CV, cover letter and guide; DOCX
- Stage
- First role after study
Grouped by the kind of material, because that is what the code on each one says. If you would rather start from where you are, the table below sorts the same eight by the job in front of you.
Each kit appears once, under the stage its layout was built for. Nothing stops you buying one filed under another stage: the files are the same for every buyer.
| Stage | What that means | Kits |
|---|---|---|
| First role after study | Little or no paid experience in the field yet, so the application has to do its work with study, projects and part-time work. | |
| Established in your field | Several roles behind you and more material than fits on a page, so the job is choosing and ordering rather than filling space. | |
| Changing direction | Moving into a field your job titles do not describe, so the application has to carry the skills across itself rather than leave the reader to do it. | |
| Senior and consulting work | Work sold on cases and outcomes, where a deck is read alongside the CV and often before it. | |
| Useful at any stage | Material that does not depend on how far along you are: preparing to talk about your work, writing a profile, keeping a search in order. |
Ordering is not open yet: the kit files are still being finished, so nothing can be bought and nothing is charged. The basket works and remembers what you picked, so you can put a shortlist together; the order button at the checkout is switched off, with the reason printed beside it.
A CV and the cover letter that travels with it, laid out in the same styles so an application arrives looking like one piece of work rather than two.

A first CV and its cover letter, laid out for study, projects and part-time work rather than years of job titles.

The same CV at two lengths, so a long history can be cut to one page without being retyped, and the cover letter that goes with it.

A CV that leads with what carries across, for applications where your job titles do not describe the work you are applying for.
Slide layouts for showing work you have done: one project or case per run of slides, with room for the problem, the work and the outcome you choose to describe.

Twelve slide layouts for writing up a technical project: what it was, how it was built and what came of it.

Fifteen slide layouts for client case studies: the situation, the work, the result and the terms you can say it on.
Writing material for the part that happens out loud. Structures and worked answer formats you complete with your own examples before the conversation, not scripts to read from.

The STAR structure, twenty example answer formats and a preparation sheet for writing your own answers down before the conversation.
The paperwork around an application rather than the application itself: what went where, what came back, what is still owed and what to send next.

An application log, a document checklist and follow-up templates, for keeping a search in order when several are running at once.
Exercises for the short pieces of writing a professional profile asks for - a headline, a summary, a run of roles - built so you draft them from your own material.

Exercises and structure examples for the three short pieces of writing a profile asks for: a headline, a summary and a run of roles.
The same catalogue in a column, for comparing contents and file types without scrolling past the pictures.

Prices are in pounds sterling and the figure beside a kit is the whole amount asked. The contents column is what the finished files have to hold: it is a description the shop is held to, not a summary of one.
