CVs and job applications: getting onto the short-list

Trish Strzelecka
Wednesday 28 February 2024

The session will provide practical advice for participants on how to improve their chances of being shortlisted for both academic and non-academic posts, by tailoring the CV and application form to meet the expectations and requirements of recruiters in different sectors. Participants will also have the opportunity to receive feedback on their own CV, as well as provide their own reflections on another participant’s CV.

What previous participants have said about previous in-person versions of this workshop:

  • “CV and interview prep can be daunting but we all need to start somewhere, and this course is perfect to hit the ground running.”
  • “Cover letter information was really helpful.  Seeing other CV’s was really useful.”
  • “It is very useful when starting to think about applying for jobs.”
