What is how to put gcses on cv?

Here's how to present your GCSEs on your CV:

General Formatting:

• Placement: Typically listed in the "Education" section. This section usually follows your "Summary/Profile" and "Work Experience" sections, especially if you're a recent graduate or have limited work experience.
• Order: List your GCSEs in reverse chronological order (most recent first). However, since GCSEs are usually all taken in the same year, order is less critical.
• Conciseness: Aim to be clear and concise. Avoid unnecessary details.

Information to Include:

1. School Name and Location: State the name of the secondary school/high school you attended and its location (town/city).

2. Qualification Type: Explicitly state "GCSEs" or "General Certificate of Secondary Education".

3. Grades:

   • List the subject and the grade achieved.
   • Option 1: Listing Individually: List each subject and its corresponding grade. This allows you to highlight strong grades in particular subjects.
   • Option 2: Summary: If you have many GCSEs, you can summarize them (e.g., "Achieved 9 GCSEs including Mathematics, English, and Sciences, grades A*-C"). Then you can list the important ones separately (such as the ones below).
   • Note: If you have any subjects with lower grades that aren't relevant to the job you're applying for, you can consider omitting them or summarizing as described above.

4. Key Subjects (Highlighting):

   • Pay special attention to these subjects, especially if they are relevant to the job:
     • Mathematics
     • English Language
     • English Literature
     • Science (If you took separate sciences like Biology, Chemistry, and Physics, list them individually).
     • Computer Science
     • Foreign Language (e.g., French, Spanish, German)
     • Other subjects related to the role (e.g. History, Geography)
   • Highlight these subjects, particularly if you achieved high grades in them. If a job description specifically mentions a required subject, make sure it's prominently displayed in your GCSE list.
