Hi there

Some really interesting and useful links with information on how to apply for a job:

CVs

The purpose of a CV is to market yourself to an employer and gain an interview.

• Creating CVs – identifying the key requirements, your relevant skills, and choosing the appropriate format
• Chronological CV – listing your details using headings, in reverse chronological order
• Skills-based or functional CV – emphasising your skills and personal qualities
• Improving a CV – giving your CV a face lift, with examples to illustrate how to improve a CV

Interviews

An interview format can be one to one, or there may be second or third interviewers in the form of a panel.

• Interviews – interview formats
• Preparing for an interview – knowing what the job entails, predicting what you may be asked
• Interview preparation activity – answering practise questions to boost your confidence
• Answering questions – thinking about the best way to answer interview questions
• Body language – looking confident, being yourself
• Telephone interviews – dealing with this method in first-round interviews
