Aston360
An exclusive platform for students and recent graduates to support with a range of employability skills, including CVs and Interviews.
What is Aston360?
An online platform designed to support career development and improve career confidence. We’ve tailored the platform for Aston students and graduates.
When logging into the platform, you’ll find lots of useful articles to help you with your career journey on topics such as exploring career possibilities, CV and interview advice, career management and much more!
The platform is home to two essential tools that we think you will find invaluable:
- CV360
CV360 is a tool to help you transform your CV to boost your chances of getting to interview.
Many large employers and recruitment websites use artificial intelligence to help them recruit graduates – software known as Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS). An ATS completes automated checks on a CV, recommending only the highest scoring candidates for further consideration. If a CV fails to pass these checks, the application may not progress to the next stage of the process.
CV360 is an ATS emulator which carries out checks of your CV and provides you with a detailed feedback report and a score. This will allow you to improve how easily an ATS views and interprets your CV, increasing the chance that you are recommended for further consideration by a human recruiter.
We encourage you to use CV360 to support you to develop your CV – aiming to gain a score of 100%. You should work to improve all issues highlighted in your feedback report, whilst dismissing only those points that cannot be addressed.
Don’t forget there’s no substitute for a human review, so once you have used CV360 to improve your CV, we recommend you attend one of our CV workshops or book an appointment with a Careers and Placements team member via Aston Futures.- Interview360
Interview360 is a tool to help you practise and develop your interview skills.
In a world where employers are increasingly using video or virtual interviews when recruiting graduates, Interview360 gives you the perfect way of preparing for important conversations with employers and gives you the chance to practise and develop your interview skills. You’ll be able to:
• Undertake interviews from different job sectors and employers to test your ability to deliver confident and appropriate answers under pressure – gaining instant tips and feedback to help you improve.
• Explore common interview questions and learn the techniques that will help you stand out from other applicants.
• Generate a personalised video mock interview experience, creating a unique interview based on a CV you've uploaded to CV360 – letting you prepare for unique questions that might come up.
Once you have used Interview360, you may wish to attend an upcoming workshop, event, or book an appointment with a Careers and Placements team member via Aston Futures, who will be happy to provide further support and guidance.
