Week 9
CV and Interview Techniques
Whether you are going straight into work or studying higher education, you are going to need a CV!
Higher Education
This might be for job applications for a permanent role or maybe for a part time job to supplement your income whilst you study, having a great CV is a way to set yourself apart and bag that job!
There are some dos and don’ts on how to create a great CV and some layouts that you should consider before you start.
You may also be wondering whether in this digital world we live in, do you still need a CV? Don’t you apply online for jobs now? Yes - some companies may ask you to complete their online application form, but there will be some sections that will be just the same as in a CV so it's definitely worth pulling all of the information together in a CV, no matter what the application process!
