Create a CV and cover letter to impress

When it comes to job hunting, your CV is your most important tool in gaining that all-important first interview.

Woodcroft Library is running a training session which teaches the key components of a great CV. You will learn how to communicate your strengths and skills effectively to tick all the right boxes for potential employers.

The course covers the basics of writing a CV right through to thinking creatively about your skills and experience whilst using online tools to build and strengthen your document.

Most employers require a cover letter to accompany your CV. A well-written cover letter will introduce you and encourage an employer to read your CV.

This course shows you how to write a great cover letter – but with a digital edge. Get best practice tips for writing a cover letter when you’re applying for a job and learn about some of the digital tools that will help you stand out from the crowd.

You will learn what recruiters are looking for and how to succinctly summarise your skills and strengths in an attention-grabbing way.
