Skills to list on your student ambassador CV

Before you begin writing, make sure you know how to write a CV in a way that best emphasises your strengths.

A student ambassador is a representative of the school or university that they attend. Ambassadors need to have a deep knowledge of the school, its programs, and its culture to work with admissions to recruit new students, promote the university, and provide campus tours.

Ambassadors also collaborate with local alumni groups, keeping them up-to-date on what’s happening at the school and helping organise joint events. To be selected for an ambassador role, you typically need to make a CV that shows you’re academically successful, involved in extracurricular activities, or a proven leader.

Learn how to put extracurricular activities in CVs and highlight them when you make a cover letter to ensure employers understand how you’ve used your job-relevant skills to produce positive results.

If you’re interested in securing a job as a student ambassador at your university, showcase the following abilities on your student ambassador CV to prove you have the soft skills (aspects of your personality) and hard skills (abilities acquired through training) required for the role:
