Searching for work can seem overwhelming – and finding the job you really want can be even harder.
In this session we will help you to prepare a CV and a covering letter that will really help you to stand out;, a personal profile that highlights your suitability for the job and examples of your experiences that will help you to answer interview questions (sometimes called STAR examples).
