If you studied Information Technology, Engineering, Commerce or a related field, clearly state your qualification and expected or actual completion date near the top of your CV. You can also include university projects, practical assignments, certifications, internships, volunteering and other experiences that demonstrate problem-solving, teamwork or technical ability.
