CVs, Applications and Interviews

We’ve got all the information and support you need to make sure you're ready to impress an employer.

CVs & Cover Letters

A great CV and cover letter will tell an employer a story – how you've developed and what you've contributed in and outside university. Make your story a great one with these top tips.

Applications

Have you been asked for a written application? This is your chance to make an impact and demonstrate what you’ve achieved. It’s a sales pitch all about you – and here's how to stand out.

Interviews

Congratulations, you’ve got an interview! Your future employer already knows your background from your CV – now you have the chance to show them who you are and how you'll add to their business.

Make your profile more than an online CV by moving away from the traditional format and standing out with links, videos, colour and detail. Bring your professional story to life using LinkedIn.

Psychometric Testing & Assessment Centres

Increasing numbers of employers use psychometric testing or assessment centres as part of the interview process. Get some practice in beforehand, and you’ll know what to expect and how to prepare.
