Get Your CV Ready: Recap of an Insightful Session
We recently hosted an enlightening online talk focused on building a readable, relevant, and attractive CV. This event provided students with essential tips and tricks to help them create standout CVs and enhance their job application success. What set this session apart was its delivery by current students who brought fresh, relatable perspectives to the topic. Their well-organised content was both informative and engaging, highlighting key elements of CV building that even experienced recruiters found insightful. A particularly valuable aspect of the talk was the inclusion of advice from real recruiters. The session featured direct quotes and practical insights from industry professionals, giving students actionable guidance on what employers look for in CVs. This unique approach ensured attendees gained a comprehensive understanding of how to present their skills effectively.
For those unable to attend, a recording of the event is now available. The Staffs Computing Society encourages all University of Staffordshire students interested in boosting their employability within the computing field to take advantage of this resource.
