Every year in October, it's incredibly difficult for students to get a CV and Applications Advice appointment - they fill up as soon as they are released. We do our best by offering back-to-back appointments trying to help as many of you as possible with your CVs. And we do really love talking to you and helping you – it’s why we do this work....
HOWEVER! It is incredibly frustrating to see so many students with the same basic issues on their CVs: poor presentation, not writing much about their degrees and not providing the right level of detail. We end up spending most of the appointment covering the basics and not having the chance to look at how to tailor the CV to a role.
Students always leave with a better CV than when they arrived, but if you know where to look you can come away with an outstanding, tailored and application-ready CV! If you cover the basics before the appointment you can spend that elusive 20-minute appointment fine tuning and polishing your CV.
