About this Event
Make your experience clear to UK employers
A CV is more than a list of previous jobs. The challenge is choosing what matters to the employer and explaining your experience in a way they can understand.
In this practical two-hour masterclass, we will explore UK CV expectations and how to build stronger evidence for applications.
What we will explore
- UK CV structure and which information to include or leave out.
- Identifying transferable skills from work, volunteering and life experience.
- Reading job adverts and recognising what the employer wants.
- Tailoring a CV or application to a particular role.
- Introducing supporting statements and using relevant examples.
There will be time for a practical exercise. If you already have a CV or a vacancy you are interested in, you are welcome to bring it, but you do not need to prepare one in advance.
This is one of five Steps Towards Work core modules. Eligible participants can also access ongoing individual CV and application support, rather than having to wait for another workshop.
