Description

This is part of the pre-arrival online careers resource for offer holders joining us this autumn.

Do you know the big six factors why CVs are not shortlisted in the UK? To increase your chances of reaching the next stage in the recruitment process, designing an effective CV is vital.

Join us for an interactive and engaging virtual session to define best practices, understand the recruiter’s perspective, and craft a standout CV. Led by our careers experts, we’ll discuss strategies for how PGT students can succeed in this first stage of the highly competitive UK graduate jobs market. We’ll also cover the use of Generative AI in the recruitment process, ATS-friendly CVs, and structuring cover letters to support a compelling application.
