Successful CVs Workshop

"I would highly recommend to others. Well presented and easily understood."

A 1-day or half-day CV writing workshop
(also available via Zoom or Teams)

Introduction
This one-day curriculum vitae workshop is tailored to meet the needs of people who are seeking employment and looking to develop their CVs. It is ideal as part of staff CPD or for Voluntary Severance and redundancy programmes. It looks at how to prepare CVs to give you the best possible chance of getting an interview. It looks at how to avoid common mistakes and how to ensure the most relevant information is coherent and easy to find.

Working directly with your clients, we will assist them in preparing a CV and this can be achieved in two ways. Firstly, if the workshop is IT-based then we will work with clients as they develop their CVs electronically. However, this workshop can also be conducted in a non-IT training room environment (ideal for clients with minimal IT skills) where CV content is compiled long-hand and produced by us electronically at a later date.
