CVs (Curriculum Vitae) and application forms are the method of choice used when recruiting new staff. In many cases they may be the first piece of information that a recruiter will obtain about you. It is therefore crucial that they are composed in such a way as to appeal to the recruiter and help them to appreciate how you would fit that job. The way in which a CV is constructed will vary greatly depending on the type of job, the experience of the candidate and the country of application. This workshop will examine how to determine what a recruiter looks for and how to target your own skills and experience to that role. It will also look at different styles of CV and how CVs differ between academia and jobs outside academia. N.B. the focus will be on CVs outside of academia. Academic CVs are covered in other workshops.
