This study investigates the impact on first hiring outcomes of two main curriculum vitae (CV) characteristics by which graduates with a tertiary education degree distinguish themselves from their peers: degree class and extra-curricular activities. These characteristics were randomly assigned to 2,800 fictitious job applications that were sent to real vacancies in Belgium. Academic performance and extra-curricular engagement enhance job interview rates by 7.0% (CI 95% [0.3%, 13.7%]) and 6.5% (CI 95% [−0.5%, 13.4%]), respectively. We did not find evidence for these CV characteristics to reinforce or reduce their effect.

努力工作还是努力玩耍？学位课程、学生领导力和就业机会*

本研究调查了具有高等教育学位的毕业生将自己与同龄人区分开来的两个主要简历 (CV) 特征对首次招聘结果的影响：学位课程和课外活动。这些特征被随机分配到 2,800 份虚构的工作申请中，这些申请被发送到比利时的真实职位空缺。学业成绩和课外参与度分别使面试率提高了 7.0%（CI 95% [0.3%, 13.7%]）和 6.5%（CI 95% [-0.5%, 13.4%]）。我们没有找到证据表明这些 CV 特征可以增强或减弱其影响。
