CVs and Cover Letters 

Your CV is your first opportunity to market yourself to potential future employers. This booklet has been produced by the Careers Service to show a range of different CVs devised to cover a number of scenarios. There are examples from undergraduates, Masters and PhD level students, and the CVs have been tailored for a variety of positions - internships/placements, graduate roles, postgraduate study applications, academia, and industry.

You do not have to find your department - we’ve simply tried to present a range of CVs from different courses here at Imperial College London. The aim is for you to be inspired and give you some further ideas of how you might want your own CV to look.
