How Graduates Can Build Evidence of Their Skills

A claim becomes more meaningful when backed by evidence.

Evidence can come from

Completed projects; internships; volunteer work; freelance work; research; presentations; publications; portfolios; community initiatives; student leadership; competitions; certifications with practical application.

The evidence formula: Skill + Situation + Action + Result

Example: "Communication — presented research findings to a 40-person audience and answered questions from the panel." This is stronger than: "Excellent communication skills." A graduate who lacks formal employment can still build evidence through carefully chosen projects and practical experiences.

Graduation gives you a qualification. Your next step is understanding what you can contribute with it.
