Tools and Techniques for Getting an Interview

When applying for a new opportunity, you need to sell your skills through your CV, application form, personal statement, or cover letter. These documents can be challenging to write effectively to get the hiring manager's interest and progress you to the next stage of the recruitment process.
This session will help you identify areas from your experience that could be highlighted and understand how to read a job advert to help tailor your application. We will also explore the basic structure of an effective CV and consider the importance of application form answers, cover letters and personal statements.
