CV help
Get your CV up to scratch
Employers could ask you to apply for a job by sending in a copy of your CV (Curriculum Vitae). A CV provides an overview of your skills, achievements, qualifications and employment history.
A CV is your gateway to getting a job interview. It is your chance to show an employer that you have the experience and skills they need, and that you are right for the job.
Our advisers can support you to create a winning CV. Whether you are updating an existing CV, or starting from scratch. We are on hand to offer CV advice on what to include, how to lay it out, as well as how to sell your strengths and achievements.
Working with our advisers makes creating a CV a positive experience and can help boost your confidence as you embark on your job search.
